my younger brother demand for his share in my property

Your brother has no right over the property bought by you. Firstly, file an application with the Authorities supplying electricity and asking them on what premise did they install the electricity connection. I strongly believe that your brother has fudged some papers to either show himself as a co-owner or a lessee.

Post you enquire these preliminary facts, then isue him a notice to vacate the house. If he doesn't then file civil suit and also a criminal complaint of illegal trespass.

Dear Sir,

Legally talking you should file a suit for mandatory injunction to throw your brother out of the premises.

Off the record you can use force and throw him out by taking help of local police. If you go for a case your brother will just buy time for himself and keep sitting in your house.

Ps: This may be not be treated as a legal opinion.

Feel free to contact of you wish to proceed legally.

in this circumstances electricity bill is a proof of residence but it does not create any right in the property so they do not have any right in the property. the older meter is still in existence and property documents is in your name than you are the owner of the property. power of attorney is not mutation. secondly in what capacity did you allow your brother to fix other meter ?
