Section 80E is meant for extending the benefits of educational loans.
As your brother is a co-applicant, and there is no restriction in the section like- only one person is eligible to claim such deduction who ever had started to claim.
In the absence of such a provision, your brother is eligible to claim the deduction during the unexpired period.
