Your brother's  defense will be that he is a co-sharer in "joint possession" since your father's time, claiming his possession cannot be illegal.

2) Option C completely shatters this argument because the 2024 Court Compromise Decree and subsequent Nagarpalika mutations legally dissolved the joint tenancy. He is no longer a co-owner; he is an independent third party iN the eyes of law

Since the property was not physically divided even though each individual's portion has been mutated on their respective names, it is advisable that you file an execution p[petition to execute the court compromise order and for physical demarcation as well as possession of your share in the property accordingly.

If the execution petition is ordered in yor favor then you can get your brother evicted from your portion occupied  by him through court Ameen
