if your father will his right in the flat in your favour you can become the sole owner of the flat.So it depends on your father

Father is willing to transfer his rights in my favour to avoid future problems....as he already given my brother what he want to give (in cash and kind)....

Mr. Rajesh,

As per you  version, i would suggest you that if your father is ready then he can do a gift deed of the 50% share of the flat in your favour and you can get it registered and will become the legal owner of the flat in the presence of your father and your brother would not be able to challenge the gift deed.

Kindly mentioned all the point in the recital part of gift deed i.e.your brother is financially very sound and your father has given what he wanted to give to your brother. 5% stamp duty is applicable on the gift deed on the basis of circle rate in delhi.
