My brother is addicted to drinking liquor. I fear he may sell the inherited land to someone.

His wife and children are there. The land inherited is on his name only.

What is the cheapest way to check him from selling land without the consent of his wife, brother or mother as children are still below 18 years. Will the method cost much ?

If the property is on your brother's name nobody has any rights in it including his wife or children..

If the relationship between his wife and him are strained then she may file an injunction suit to restrain him from alienating the property for the purpose of creating a charge on the property owing to the maintenance suit proposed to be filed against him.

This question needs to be answered by a local lawyer as laws relating to acquisition of agricultural land and plantation thereon are not uniform throughout India. So you must consult a local lawyer.
