Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Hi,
The plot where my house currently stands was in joint names of me, my brothers and my mother long ago. 10 years ago I paid money to my brothers and my mother and got the entire plot registered and mutated in my name. My mother and one of the brothers did sign a memorandum that they had received the money from me and that they do not have any interest in the land. The memorandum also stated that the other 2 brothers have also received the money. But the other 2 brothers did not sign it. However, my mother and one brother have acknowledged in the memorandum that they and the other brothers did receive the money. My father has signed it as witness. At that time notarized power of attorneys were valid and I mentioned in the registry that using the notarised power of attorneys of my brothers I registered the land. However, I do not have the record of those attorneys now. Now because the property rates have gone up my other 2 brothers are now saying that they will file a case if I don't pay them more money.I am living here for the past 20 yrs and have all the bills in my name for the past 10 yrs. I am planning to demolish the old house and build a new one in the same spot. Can my brothers legally challenge the registry. If so what are my options. My mother has already expired but my father is alive.
Can I file a case of blackmailing or anything against my brothers.

You can assess case of your brothers only after it is filed. You will get sufficient opportunity to defend the same.
