The share of the Second Son can be relinquished by Executing and Registeing a Relinquishment Deed in favour of other share holder/Son - and it has to be registered . - stamp duty as per Tamilnadu State Saampt Act articles
( in AP between family members - it is 1% on the share value of the Releasor )

The second son has to execute a relinquishment deed, and the stamp duty, as per the Stamp Act in whichever State he is residing.
As far as I am aware, I don't think there is any difference among religions, since this is common law, and is not related to succession.

Family Members /Blood Relation- is only defined in AP for Stamp Duty at 1 % , I think the same will apply to you also !

In reply of your query, I state that for relinquishment of rights in the immovable property, you can execute relinquishment Deed in favour of the brother to whom you want to transfer your share. The Deed is compulsorily registrable as by this deed you are transfterring immovable property as also the Deed needs to be duly stamped as per the stamp duty leviable in the particular state where the property is situate, in relation of which you want to execute relinquishment Deed.
