The gift deed is suffering from inherent defects,Firstly The gift deed is unregistered and secondly the gift has never been accepted by the donee.Under Section No 123 of Transfer of property Act the gift of immovable property can be made only through a registered document.

I forgot to mention one fact that the aforesaid plot of land is in possession of Mr. B., now.

As per the eye of law gift deed is valid as it is executed before the competent authority further the person whose favor gift deed is made is in possession of property and enjoying it without ant interruption.. in this case question of cancellation of the deed does not arise  as is not registered
