Can registered conditional gift deed may revoked ?

 

Hi, I have a query that is any conditional gift deed may revoke by donor family members after his death in failure of condition? For more information I am briefing you in the year 1966 my grandfather donated his four bighas land to City Improvement Trust for the construction & development of a colony for Ex-servicemen & Servicemen (soldiers) it was an registered deed in favor of city improvement trust. In the deed some conditions are that donee has prepared a layout of this gifted land and will chalk out the plots, allotment of these plots after development will be made only to Ex- servicemen & Servicemen by the Town Improvement trust, after this deed trust marked 58 plots over the land and allotted  few  plots to ex-servicemen’s  but after a long period no one claims over maximum plots rest of few constructed own houses,  in between the year 2008-09 city collector cancelled the allotted plots due to negligence by owners & in today’s condition most of the part of land is covered by huts, kaccha construction houses and temples.

Kindly suggest can i claim for the land & is there any chance to return it back ?

Can registered conditional gift deed may revoked ?

Gift with condition is not gift.

first condition of gift that it is unconditional.

Depends upon the language of the gift deed. Can you reproduce the full text of the gift deed for further advice?

126. When gift may be suspended or revoked.- The donor and done may agree that on the happening of any specified event which does not depend on the will of the donor a gift shall be suspended or revoked; but a gift which the parties agree shall be revocable wholly or in part, at the mere will of the donor, is void wholly or in part, as the case may be. A gift may also be revoked in any of the cases (save want or failure of consideration) in which, if it were a contract, it might be rescinded. Save as aforesaid, a gift cannot be revoked. Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to affect the rights of transferees for consideration without notice. Illustrations
