1. You can file a Police FIR (at Palghar only), requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like Trespassing, Cheating, Intimidation, Fraud, Breach of Trust, Mischief etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting Documents, Evidences & Witnesses.

Note: You can take Power of Attorney (POA) from Mother and you can file FIR on behalf of Mother.

2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. The said Person may come down for settlement.

You have to file suit for injunction and declaration of title under order 39 of C P C 1908 before Palghar Court because of simple reason is that  disputes are under the jurisdiction of Palghar Court. No suits at Mumbai.

Keep ready form 6,8 and extract of 7/12 with Index II updated for injunction order against your Brother and his servants. 

You would definitely succeed.

Yes, prefer a suit to disposes him.

If he has fraudulently got his name mutated in the revenue records, you’ll have to prefer a case to cancel the same as well.

As per law, he can’t occupy your mother’s land during her lifetime. He derives an interest in this land only after the instestate demise of your mother.

1. You brother seems to be in nexus with this servant and hence running after him will not do.

2. Your mother is the owner of this property and hence she alone take action to clear her property.

3. So ether get her to lodge complaint with the Talathi or get a POA from her and then lodge such complaint by you soa s to remove his name.

4. Since she is the owner the property can not be mutated in the name of any person, least of a farmer of that land.

- Since, the said agriculture land is owned by your mother, hence this land is her self acquired property .

- Further she is having her right to transfer the said land to any person as per her wish , and none has right to claim over the same legally.

- Further , the acts of your said brother and the said servant is against the law, and they have no right to take the ownership without the consent of your mother. 

- Firstly your mother should send a legal notice to your said brother for terminating his licence , which was given to him for temporary farming , and thereby she should instruct him to immediate leave the land . 

- Further, if no response, then she should file a suit for Mandatory & Permanent Injunction before the court for restraining them from entering into the farm land and from transfer the same to any third party without the consent of owner .

This property is still in the hands of your mother only.

You can issue a legal notice to the said servant instructing him to vacate the land and deliver possession.

If he is not agreeing or not complying with the demands made, you may file an injunction suit agaisnt him to restrain him from cultivating the landed property anymore since he is an unauthorised squatter in the property and also for re-possession of property

What is the need to file case, better first file FIR and if brother has sold the land to servant or took some money than agasint brother also, as he has no right to sell and deal in the matter of land till mother is alive.

Last remedy, can file suit of injunction and recovery of possession. Suit will file in where land exits. Also submit objection at local talati office not to transfer land in his name or you have already done, good.

It is advisable to issue a legal notice to the servant for vacating the property. Meanwhile the property can be sold even when the tenant has not vacated but that should be disclosed to the prospective buyer as well. A suit can also be filed against your brother asking him to remove the servant from the property.

You have been served with a notice about this from the village revenue office, it becomes your duty to clarify their doubts and also to object to the other person's application to include his name in the land records.

Take your mother to the village with an application objecting to the other person's application and establish her rights in the property.

Your mother has to produce all the documentary evidences to prove her title to the property.
