hello, we have been through your query and even if the police are not registering a case against you, you can file a pvt complaint in appropriate court of law and also a civil case of partition suit against your brother for your share in the property which may kindly be noted!

You have to live amicably there or you have to purchase their shares to be able to live there. Otherwise the remaining option is to sell the flat and share the proceeds amongst yourselves because each of you has equal right over the flat.

If he has stolen the documents you can get a certified copy of the same from the land records office as well as if it is a sale deed then from sub-registrars office under whose area the flat is located if police refuse to take the complaint you can contact their immediate superiors such as commissioner or the person in charge of the police station and they will definitely help you out. please contact your local lawyer for further advice.
