in laymen language legal owner is who hold the title of the property and the beneficial owner is who enjoy the benefits of that property on behalf of title holder.
20% voting power does not make u owner of the co. not even anything else. it gives you only some rights but not the ownership.(apki baat pehle suni jayegi and to some extend maani b jayegi)
its as simple
we we go out with frds to dominos n contribute more than our frds .. they only give use right to chose what to eat instead of whole Piza.

I agree with the expert "Naresh" and do add an example-
In case of your shares in Demat A/c- The depository is treated as the legal owner of the shares and you are treated as a beneficial owner. The dividend, Bonus, etc will be enjoyed by you.
.
The person can be said to be owner of the shares through which he gets 20% voting right in the company. He can not demand 20%
Assets or Liabilities of the company. Company itself is a separate legal entity.
