It is better to execute the Gift deed by your father. Is the property self acquired or ancestral? There is chance to object the Gift deed in court.

That property was allotted by the government to my father at that partition 1947

and if it's not possible for my father to execute gift deed then in such case can i make a gift deed in favour of my wife thorough that GPA ?

The gift deed should be properly stamped, executed and registered by your father.

The GPA with you states that you can sell or gift the property, if yes then go ahead just execute on behalf of that the deed of gift in anyone's favour.Register in court

Show the document of GPA to a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation and guidance.

However, it would be better if your father executes the "Gift" deed.
