If the second marriage was without dissolution of first marriage as per law, then your mother may seek his criminal prosecution; she may also claim maintenance and damages under D.V.A.
the best way is to settle the matter amicably by making your father understand that he is responsible towards both the families. in case he does not pay heed to your request, you may file a suit for partition with regard to the property of your grand mother and seek equal share for yourself, your brother and your mother.
there are several ways in front of you your mother can directly file a criminal suit and prosecute him or claim maintenance you and your brother can claim share from his property
