Mr. Lakshmanraja, the answer of Mr. Prabakar is correct, you can file suit for declaration declaring the cancellation deed and the subsequent gift deed in favour of him as null and void against the youngest grandson of your grandfather, you can get relief

ONLY A CONDITIONAL GIFT DEED CAN BE REVOKED IF THE DEED IS UNCONDITIONAL EVEN THE DONOR HAS NO RIGHTS TO REVOKE THE GIFT ONCE ACCEPTED.

Once gifted and possession delivered, the right of the donor end in the property (except in some conditional matters, which are not present in this case)hence your gift is valid.
