Why did you opt for legal recourse, Did you try to take your 1/3rd share amicably?Consult your lawyer with all documents for proper opinion/advise.

For sale deed / receive the duplicate allotment letter from the department which allotted the property.
If no amicable solution possible file suit for partition.
1. Case is to be filed in lower court and not in High Court.
2. Court fee, differ from state to state, lawyers fee differ from person to person, you can negotiate.
3. It may take 4-5 years or more.
4. No change of legal ownership position if rebuilt by your brother however, he can complicate the position by otherwise arguments / claims.
5. If he start construction immediately take stay on construction from court.

The property, prima facie, is impartible. It is advisable that the suit is filed under Partition Act.

You have to take the help of a good lawyer and file a partition suit seeking your legitimate share n the property and also to file an application seeking injunction restraining your brother from alienating or making any new construction demolishing the existing structure until the suit is disposed. The lawyer fee will depend upon the standing and other credentials of the lawyer selected by you to fight your case and generally a partition suit will take atleast 5 years or beyond that to get disposed.
