Hi, First pls let me clarify that whether your brother repaid the amount through cheques or online payment then it is very difficult to recover the amount he can take the defense that he has repaid the amount.

2. If not the case then you can file a suit for recovery of the amount as you have proof to show that you have paid the amount through bank only.

3. Before filling a suit first you have to issue a legal notice and then proceed.

2) if he fails to pay file suit for recovery of loan amount with interest

3) you can also file criminal complaint of cheating , criminal breach of trust against your brother

You do not have a written agreement with your brother or father, so the only documentary proof would be the bank passbook entries showing transfers to his account. You can thus file a lawsuit for recovery of money with compensation against your brother. No remedy is however available against your father as he was not a beneficiary of the loan. Before going to court issue a lawyer's notice to your brother.

The communication apart from passbook entries can also be used as evidence. Issue a lawyer's notice to him

It may appear to b tricky but you can first send a legal demand notice asking him to repay the amount, failing reply or respond properly you may drag him to civil court for recovery of money on the evidence of bank transactions.

This will certainly make him to think about the issue very seriously after which he may come down for any negotiated settlement.

I know his all loan bank account numbers as well as he paid via cheq to three different accounts, with in week after receiving money from me. I have mail communication as a proof that he accepted that he owns the loan.

May be by the notice of court I can get all loan statement from respective bank as proof.

If you have details of all his transaction including the loans he had availed, it will be useful to contest in the court and try to retrieve your property.

In the money recovery suit, you may even attach his property before judgment as security towards the amount.
