No , you can't claim now any share or right over the property bought on the name of your elder brother by your father in the year 1973.you could claim any right or share in property before 1988 but
after came into force of Benami Transaction Act 1988 , no person can claim his right or share in Benami properties.

You stated that your father purchased the property in the name of your elder brother and also half plot in the name of your mother, which is correct? If the property was bought in the name of your mother and elder brother, then you have an equal share in the 1/2 share of your mother with other legal heirs only after her. Now you have no right.

I agree with the experts.
You can not claim any right in the 1/2 share of your brother, even if he was not earning.

Were you born at the time of purchase?

Your father might have funded for the purchase of the property but since he bought it on your brother's name as well as your mother's name, your father cannot claim any share in that property.
If your father himself cannot claim any share in that property, you being a third person, do not have any rights or interest in the property hence any claim made by you in this regard would not be maintainable.
