There was a uncoditional gift settlement deed between parent(A) and child(B) which was executed and registered 12 years back. This deed was signed by other child(C). Now Parent wants to revoke the deed saying that he was not allowed read through complete deed at the time of registration, Witness who had signed is also supporting Parent.
Witness also being child provoked all this in the greed of claiming property through parent again.
This property is not ancesteral and all the hiers have signed NOC for this deed.
This deed was registered infront of sub-registrar. Both parent(A) and witness are well educated and read the legal documents.
Here my question is: can the witness who had signed say that it was signed in hurry not letting parent read through document?
Can the parent reclaim the property this way after 12 yrs?

A gift deed duly stamped, executed and registered can not be unilaterally revoked. Explicit and unequivocal consent of the Donee/s and the Donor/s is essential.
