Yes, you can file forgery cases and other cases as per the facts of your case. You have to challenge the legal heirship certificate applied by your elder brother if it is adversely affecting your interest. Appoint a local advocate and get the certified copy of the application and get it verified by your advocate.

Collect conclusive evidences qua forgery and cheating committed and lodge FIR against the wrongdoer.
Simultaneously institute a suit for cancellation of the document executed under forged signatures of other share-holders.
Consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of facts / documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
