No if you have both resided together at the same district where he is currently residing then he can only file on the ground of last resided together a petition for divorce. But you have full right to file a petition for divorce

Jurisdiction to file divorce in India under Hindu Marriage Act The jurisdiction to file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act in India is determined by the provisions of Section 19 of the Act. According to this section, a petition for divorce can be filed in a court in India under the following circumstances: If either the husband or the wife resides in the jurisdiction of the court. If the marriage was solemnized in the jurisdiction of the court and either the husband or the wife has resided there for at least one year immediately preceding the filing of the petition. If the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises within the jurisdiction of the court. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional in India to determine the appropriate jurisdiction for your brother's divorce case.
