2) your grand mother should with consent of cousin brother should cancel the gift deed

1. Gift deed is unconditional then it can not be canceled by the donor.

2. SO heck the gift deed whether it was conditional or unconditional. Moreover even if it was conditional then also it cannot be cancelled unless and until the condition is valid.

3. If your cousin also willing then ask him to transfer the property to you . Otherwise if life grand mother gift the proeprty and your cousin dispute the same then the gift deed in your name would be of no value if invalidated by court.

1) it is advisable to file suit and to challenge cancellation of gift deed executed by grandmother

2) once cancellation deed is set aside then cousin can execute gift deed or n your favour

1 can my cousin brother register gift deed in favour of me or

Yes, your cousin brother can execute a registered gift deed in your favor because your grandmother cannot cancel the registered gift deed unilterally.

2 can he register in favour of my grand ma , and my grand ma to me

Instead both the the donor and the donee can execute a cancellation deed cancelling the registered gift deed after which your grandmother can execute a registered gift deed in your favor.

now if the gift deed is given by my cousin brother to me will it be validated by court.

If your cousin is executing a registered gift in yor favor, it is very valid in law.

The cancellation done by your grandmother earlier will not be binding or bar your cousin brother to perform this transaction in your favor.

yes the cancelation deed was registred .

is there any chance if both of them ie( my grand ma and cousin) jointly execute the gift settlement in favour of me

Even the registered cancellation deed is not valid in the eyes of law and not binding on the donee.

If she can execute another cancelling the cancellation deed, then it will remain as per the original gift deed safely.
