As its a civil case.. You should also apply for stay , in which court will restrain your brother for selling or alienating your property . He will not be able to create any third party interest..
1. What happened to your father? Is he alive? If he is not alive then on his demise his share devolved through intestate succession (if he did not make a will during his lifetime) on his class 1 heirs equally i.e his mother, widow and all children. If that be so, you are free to file a suit for partition to cull out your share therein.
2. File a suit for partition in the civil court. The court will order division through metes and bounds.
1) file suit for partition for division of property by metes and bounds
2) seek an injunction restraining brother from selling the property
3) suit for partition take 15 years to be disposed of
4) also complain to revenue authorities for setting aside mutation of property done in name of brother as you have one sixth share in the property

You would need court orders as your brother is not interested in amicable settlement
Hello,
you will have to file suit for partition for division of property and seek an injunction order your brother from selling the property; disposal time depends on various factors and usually it takes 10-15 years also with regards to mutation you can give a written complaint to the revenue authorities, since you have 1/6th share in the property.

File a suit for partition and stake a claim on your share. This case can take anything in between 2-5 years. If your younger brother has encroached and occupied upon your share of land as well, report the matter to the police and ask them to take lodge a FIR against your brother.
