How many heirs of your father and what is the nature of property. Whether is was partitioned during the life time of your father, if not who are other shareholders in that property. all these information is required to answer this.

illegitimate sons are entitle to claim the share in the self acquired property of the father, but not in the ancestral property. So along with the other heirs you will get equal share.

Yes, the Supreme Court has rule to the contrary of what the author is saying. The court has made it clear that the illegitimate child can inherit only the self acquired property and not the ancestral property of the father.

if your father had married second time after death of his first wife then it is not illegitimate marriage and you are also legal son and entitled for the grant of equal share.
