Dear Sir,
My mother in law gifted property to my husband in 2004 by way of registered document. We sold the same property to someother in 2009 and later they too sold in 2012. My mother in law, with the help of her first son, filed case against my husband in 2009 to cancel that gift deed as we are not taking care of her. But we already dispoosed it. But the tax is being paid by my mother in law only till date. Please calrify the status now.
Thanks
M.Prabha

Some interesting case points here.
1. Can gift deed be cancelled later by donor citing some acceptable conditions like conditional, under duress etc.
2. If the above points can be proved, then can it be said that the registered gift deed is void ab initio? i.e in that case the laws of limitation will not apply?
Calling all good lawyers in this forum to provide input. Any relevant cases will also be hepful because I too have a similar problem.

the gift deed can be challenged in the court if it is suspected to be made through fraud or any other illegal means.if fraud is proved then the gift deed can be reversed.if the gift is made after 2007 then if you are a senior citizen you can approach the dcp and file a petition to reverse the gift as the son to whom it is gifted failed to take care of them as per the condition mentioned in the gift deed.

But the actual question is can donor file for cancellation of gift deed after the three year limitation period?
If permitted then can somebody provide any case in support of this view?

No. Gift made by reg.document cannot be declared as void after 3 years. Limitation period for setting aside a instrument is 3 years. Moreover third party interest has been created.

Please note that your mother in law may also initiate proceeding undr The Senior citizens protection and welfare act. Please provide maintenance to her if she needs.
Prabha Mopidevi (Bank Officer) 10 March 2016
Thank you for your response. We are ready to take care of her. That too she is getting pension of Rs.15k per month. She is not asking any maintenance. Her first son is doing all this.
