Your brother can not force your mother. Let he do what she wants , nothing to worry as long as she remains firm.

The house was allotted in the name of your father and it seems he is no more and no will exist. Under the condition you, your brother and your mother has equal share in this house. Your mother can gift or will her share in your favor. Previous amount taken or any act done by your brother has no concern with this house.

If you have enough amount you can have a deal with your brother for his share and hence save your house for you.

Legally your brother cannot do anything to your mother nor can he force your mother to give him money as his share out of the sale proceeds of the property sold which was on your mother's name. Therefore, tell your brother to approach the issue legally through court of law and you contest the same appropriately.

Your brother has no legal right to claim any money from your mother as he took away his share from the sale proceeds of the property. If he extort money from your mother on pretext it will be punishable by law.

Thanks for the suggestions, which was replied to my query...finally my brother took 70,000 from mother as a part of his share in the land which is alreay sold in past, and know he is asking for the house where my mother is staying,, as his plan is to give it to builder, and he already to spoke to builder regarding the development.. builder stated that he will pay 5 lakhs towards development charges and and will give two portions in ( 1st and 3rd floor or 2nd and 4th floor), with 1350/ sq mts is construction area and in which 1200 sq mts is one flat total 4 flats. my brother intention is that, after ever the amount paid by builder should be divided into two part among our two brothers and in one flat my mother will stay and in another flat he is planning to occupy of rented to a tenant or may be forcely sell that flat.

Your mother is owner of the property. If she do not like no one can force her to enter into the development agreement.
If she enters into the same she can make a family settlement about distributing her children's share in respect of particular flats.
