legally you have already given h is share to him and now legally if you want to treat him or make him vacate the house first take him to the doctor and give him treatment and and even after if you want him to vacate if he is not vacating then take help of police

Treatment is important than share of property. First provide treatment.

You appoint a psychologist / psychiatrist for the counselling and treatment fo your brother. 

If he refuses, 

Kindly ask your parents to mention all the facts and file a detailed application u/s 12 of the Family Courts Act  for appointing Pyschologist / Psychiatrist and to pass orders for Psychological Evaluation of your brother. After calling for the reports of the experts and based on the same Court can pass appropriate orders for further course of action and directions to undergo treatment.

If the situation is worst,  Court can direct the facilitated Govt. Hospitals to admit the patient for treatment.

You cannot judge a person's mental condition just like that.

A divorce drains out much out of a person.

You should understand your brother's mental condition, what led to his divorce.

Why is he shouting at you and your parents.

Its not that easy as they show in movies, divorce.  A series of events lead to a drastic end called as divorce, leaving both the parties in question and their respective familles in soup.

In such times, instead of going for partition, [parents if would have forced your brother into marriage or he went against parents and got love marriage that did not work, finally asked for partition, etc it could be anything which you have not explained] you should have shown understanding towards your brother.


Even now, instead of thinking of taking legal action, sort things out between yourself in a calm manner.  I assume that your brother's actions are due to the fact that his life is spoilt due to the divorce resulting in no peace of mind, hence the blame game towards parents and you.  


If you do not support your brother during these times, then who will?
