A piece of land was gifted by a male Hindu (Donor) to his niece (Donee) in the 1998. The relation between 'donee' and 'donor' being that the 'donor' was paternal uncle (Chacha - father's brother) of 'donee'. The registration of the gift deed was done in a formal manner including mutation of the property in 1999. Donee (recipient of the gifted land) constructed boundary wall along the perimeter of the land from her own money in 2005. Till date no further civil construction has been done upon that land. So current status quo of the land being 'vacant' with only brick-wall boundary.
'Donor' passed away in 2010 and 'donee' passed away in 2017. 'Donee' died intestate and as of today the property is still in the name of 'donee'. So my queries are as follows:-
1. Can Legal Heirs of 'Donor' claim any stake in the aforementioned 'gifted property' now?
2. Does law of limitation apply in such matters? If yes, then when does the limitation period commence (in which year) ? Can Legal Heirs of 'Donee' claim 'adverse possession' ?
3. Is there any case-law of any Indian SC or state HCs in a similar matter ?
4. Can Legal Heirs of 'Donee' sell the gifted-property without any consent or intimation from the Legal Heirs of 'Donor' ?
5. Can Legal Heirs of 'Donor' legally challenge the sale transaction entered by the Legal Heirs of 'Donee' with any third party ?
