All the legal heirs of XYZ (i.e. ABC, sons and daughters of XYZ) have to give a Registered Relinquishment Deed relinquishing their right, title and interest in the property in favour of KSJ.
Apart from that, please ascertain the procedure from the Society, as to what are the formalities to be fulfilled to get the entire share certificate transferred in favour of KSJ.

You said that grandmother XYZ has expired.
If so, then where is the question of transferring the property from Grandmother to your grandfather? A dead person cannot transfer any property.
Now after expiry of your grand mother, it is an intestate property (i.e. without any WILL or GIFT or Sale Deed executed by her during her life time in favour of anybody.)
The property will go only to the legal heirs of XYZ. One of the legal heirs of XYZ is the son of the predeceased son i.e. KSJ of SBJ.
Ideally, one should obtain a legal heir certificate by making an application to the Tehasildar of your area concerned. After making enquiries, he will grant you the legal heir certificate mentioning therein all the names of the legal heirs, their gender, age, relationship with the deceased XYZ etc.
Once that is in place, then the other legal heirs (except KSJ) can give a Registered Relinquishment Deed in favour of KSJ.

Hi. Your society may ask you to obtain a Letters of Administration (LA) from the High Court. Any legal heir of the deceased owner can make such application and get the LA. Under the LA, the Court will appoint an administrator (who can either be the applicant of the LA petition itself or any other legal heir of the deceased). The society can then deal with this administrator since the owner is no more. The administrator can then apply to the Court seeking its permission to transfer the flat to KSJ. Once permission is granted, the society can transfer the flat to his name. Be informed that obtaining a LA will entail you a cost of Rs. 75k towards court fees plus lawyer fees.
Alternatively the society can dispense with the requirement of obtaining a LA and instead accept the NOC consent affidavits from the legal heirs of XYZ therein giving their respective consents to transfer the flat to KSJ. The society may also issue a public notice to invite objections from public before transferring the flat. This procedure will be cheaper than the first one. So it all depends on your society and the legal advice it receives from its lawyer.
