Legal Question in Family Law in India

Division/disposal of ancestral porperty

We are six borhters. Our parents died long back. We want either to divide the property or to dispose of the same. I am the eldest and retired and four in employment and the youngest one is with out any source of living. Our fourth brother is not coperating in any of the decissions being taken by other five brothers. We had given him ample opportunity in writing 4-5 letters to attend the discussions with us.

For the willful action of one person others are made to suffer. I think in such a suitation there must be some solution/remedy in the eye of the natural justice.

Hence kindly suggest the way out for the following:

1.If we want to divide the property in his absence.

2.If we want to dispose of the property in his absence.
