A strange question, without details. However if the sle deed stands in ur mother's name then obviously she is deemed to be the owner of the property, which she can sell as per her will and wish. But if the sale consideration goes from your fahter and the deed is taken in the name of your mother then she is only a trustee for the property. This is called doctrine of advancement for trust whic is other wise called a benami transaction. It depends on your stand as regards the property, but the presumoption is that shle is the owner untill the contrary is proved, which is possible by filing a suitr in appropriate court.
