If your father alive he may request the district magistrate for eviction from illegal occupation. In other case you need to file a partition suit to claim your share in undivided property.

On father demise you and your brother have equal share in property
2) you can file suit for partition for division of property by metes and bounds
3) seek an injunction restraining sale of property or creating third party rights by your brother
1. POA can represent the sister but better if she appears and sign the documents,
2. her presence is necessary for the execution of the POA
If father is not alive then first get the property register or transfer the title on legal heirs name and later make the relinquish deed. To register relinquish deed your both sister has to come in the sub registrar office with out that it won't be complete it.
You can break and enter in the house, you have equal title in father property. Or have to file partition suit and declaration of title.
In same case , you can obtain injuction order, not to put property on rent.
All have 1/4th share each and sisters have to execute release deed to transfer their share. Deed will register at sub registrar office.
She can give POA to another sister to execute release deed.
PoA can execute anywhere in India. Notory is suffice no need to register POA .
Relinquishment deed can be signed by birthday sister and incase one of your sister is living outside India then relinquishment it can be authenticated by The Ambassador concerned in the country she is leaving and the same can be registered in India on the basis of relinquishment deed you can transfer the property in your names
Dear Client,
You have to file a case for Partition.
Contact me by searching me on the internet "Jaswant Singh Katariya"
Your sister would have to appear before the sub registrar in her city in order to get the power of attorney registered as it is mandatory for a power of attorney to be registered when title in property is transferred. After that, you can use the power of attorney to get the conversion, mutation and registration of relinquishment deed done.
Your Statements imply that your father is not alive and he died without leaving a will, in that case you should file a suit for partition and injunction along with interem relief application to restrain your brother from creating any third party interest in the property till the suit is decided as well as to maintain status quo.
You can start by sending a legal notice to your brother asking him to open the locks and to give you possession of your share in the property within two days of receipt of the legal notice, failing which you would have to proceed legally against him in court.
See you can file a suit of partition to seek your share from the property. Also further other siblings and mother can be made party to same.
Yes she can give a power of attorney in favor of anyone of your to execute a relinquishment deed and sign same on her behalf.
Dear sir
You haven't started status of your father
If he is present you can file suit through him.
Else first serve legal notice and henceforth suit for partition wherein sisters would be party and then surrendering the righs on behalf of brothers.
If it is your father's property and he is reported to have died intestate then the property shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs.
Your brother cannot enjoy the property alone by himself.
You can file a partition suit claiming your rightful share in it, besides you can file an application seeking injunction restraining him from putting his lock or alienating it or renting it out or do any such act which affects the interest of other shareholders till the disposal of main suit.
The power of attorney deed should be done by a registered document.
She can get it registered from the city where she currently resides and send it by post to you.
The relinquishment deed should be done by registered deed to make it legally valid.
You can file a partition suit subsequently seeking your legitimate share in it.
You can also put your additional lock in it. He can't have sole right in the same. For any injunction order you need to approach civil court
Dear querist,
Let us go procedurally correct.
1. First you need to have a relinquishment deed from your sisters and since they are out of station then a special power of attorney in your favour as a attorney holder will serve the purpose.
2. Secondly, with all those papers in your hand you will be either filing a partition suit or you can go for out of court procedure where you will be either getting the property mutated.
3. By that you will be having your property in your possession. If your elder brother is not letting you have your share a legal notice intimating him will be the first step.
Everything is required to be done in such a manner wherby, sources and other formalities will be required. You dont need to worry about that.
You can contact me for doing all the procedure on your behalf.
