No, You cannot sell the property even if one of the co-owner is not ready for the same. You should issue a notice for partition followed by a Suit for partition before the concerned court. You may consult with better particulars

Sir you all can sell your own shares in the property, however if it’s a dwelling house then a suit for partition and injunction is required to be filed. Thus, I need to know about the details of the property and your family members so that we can file a civil suit for partition. For complete details kindly contact. Thanks

Yes you can sell your consolidated undivided share in the property in case you don't get consent of a single co sharer, in case you get a buyer who is ready and willing to purchase the same. or file a case of partition in court of law against the protestor, get the property partitioned and sell it. meet me for further guidance in the matter. thanks

If your mother died intestate, then under the Succession act you all are inherited with equal right and in that case, the property cannot be sold in the absence of any co-owner/your brother or as the matter of fact without the consent of any of the co-owners. Please contact me for further details.

Power of Attorney is required to move forward for selling of the property. Alternatively, he can consent to sell his part. Possible legal issues may occur in future if you proceed without his consent and the registry of the property can be challenged in court.
