The information provided by you is insufficient for proper evaluation of the matter. However, on the basis of the information provided by you, you can seek review of the order before the same court or go in appeal against the order before a higher court.

You have to file a first appeal. I think that's a better option becuase in revision you have to show error apparent on the face of it, which would be tough. Whereas if you prefer an appeal you have a legal right to adduce fresh evidence under order 41 Cpc. In that case, the evidence would be lead and your suit would be decided taking into consideration the will/ testamentary document in your favor

In A partition suit , the court has jurisdiction to amend the shares suitably even if the preliminary decree has been passed .
Or in other circumstances either you can go in appeal for meeting aside the decree on the ground of emerging new material facts or you can give the subsequently found will or testamentary documents as the newly emerged evidence by way of affidavit that will affect the prospects of the final decree in your favour.

You need to appeal against the same in the appellate court and further seek permission to file written statement or reply along with the necessary documents. The same court may or may not review it's order/preliminary decree since the court has already decided in regard to the share of the plaintiff. So it is advisable to file an appeal against the same.

Subject to further information from your end about your defence, the option is that you may choose to go in for appeal. You will have to show suficient reason for having failed to file the will during trial.
