If the lawyer's notice send by your brother 2 years back did not produce the desired result then you should have right away filed a case for eviction in court against forest department. Since the land is registered in the name of your grand father there shall not be any hassles in proving it. Have you paid the legal fee to your lawyer? If he is not contesting the case then change your lawyer. Lawyer's fee and court fee are not refundable irrespective of the result of the case.
