Hello, your father will have to file a title partition suit in the court of competent jurisdiction. It will be filed before Sub Judge in Civil Court. Your father's brothers have no right in the property purchased by him 16 years back since it is his individual/ separate/ sole property.

As per Hindu succession act each and every legal heirs have equal share in ancestral property, if they are dividing the property mutually then you can file partition suit before the competent court of civil jurisdiction
