Being a non-Tamilian I had to search for the meaning and purpose of "gramakantam land" (a local terminology) as the term used by you, accordingly I found,
"Gramakantam lands," in the context of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, refer to government-owned lands, traditionally open spaces in villages, managed by the local village panchayat, where villagers could utilize the land with permission but without acquiring ownership rights.
In such circumstances the land can neither be sold nor purchased since title of the land shall not be transferred and it will remain with Panchayat.
Any gift / sale deed executed, as stated by you, is invalid and illegal.
However, it is advisable to contact and consult a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts / documents and professional advise.
