Joint tenancy.

Greetings to All!!
Query:-

(Mr A) holds a property jointly purchased along his two brothers(Mr B and Mr C) in 1975.
In year 1994 mr B expired who was just a sleeping owner with no possession and to title in the premises except his name in the sale deed.
Since In 1994 Mr.B expired and since mr. A was in the possession of the constructed factory in the premises,mr C also gave the power of attorney to mr A as he was also not involved in any affairs related to the titled land.

however in year 2007 widow of mr B filed a suit against Mr A claiming the share in the land as legal heirs of the deceased (Mr B).

Please confirm is his suit admissible?as the land was jointly held (jointly tenancy) How strong is the case of Mr A.
