1. As soon as the gift deed is executed it results in an instantaneous transfer of title to the donee whereupon the donor ceases to have any right, title or interest in the gifted property.The only remedy then left with the donee is to file a suit for cancellation of the gift deed on the ground that consent to execute the gift deed was obtained through coercion, undue influence or fraud which has to be proved through cogent evidence.

2. File a criminal complaint against the sister in the jurisdictional police station.

Once gift deed is executed in your mother's favour your mother becomes the absolute owner of the property. and your aunt can not claim any right over the property gifted to your mother.

If you are feeling like threatened by the acts of your aunt please file a police complaint stating all the facts as you have mentioned herein and request the police to do the need full.

And you may also file case for injection restraining your aunt from interfere with peaceful possession of the property.

Dear Sir,

1. Your problem is very simple. You can file a suit for permanent injunction and get ex-parte temporary injunction against all trouble creating persons including your aunt and her relatives. The plaint averments must state that it is in your physical possession on the basis of gift deeds. Soon after getting such ex-parte order try to evict them by muscle power. Let them go to police and Court.

Let me tell you one way for the time being to harass her, ask your aunt to drop a Meagan and mail to each and everyone that the lady has tried to kill her but she save herself.

Then, you all take those messages to the police station and file a written complain over there.

Now, she will be in problem not your aunt.

And also it is very easy for you to prove that the lady an idea about the previous gift deed and limitation period of 3 years have been over now.

She won’t get anything.

This matter must be immediately reported to the police so that a FIR is lodged on the abusing sister.

Incidences of abuse and violence may be captured in a hidden camera to create evidence.

Dear Sir,

The best advise is to file private complaint and see that she and her supporters make rounds around the criminal courts.

Secondly, if FIR issued against you and your relatives then please approach the HC and get the investigation stayed.

INstall CCTVs inside the house to record her cruel acts and then file a criminal complaint against her. Your sister is a step ahead of you, so collect evidence against her before going to police.

A gift deed is absolute and it is acted upon and further the property is also transferred to the third party in the circumstance your aunt can not claim before the court to revoke the Gift deed.

Your mother has absolute rights to bequeath the property to whomever she intends. Once the donee accepted the gift and acted upon in furtherance of the same, the donor cannot unilaterally demand cancellation of the gift deed.

If your mother's sisters have transferred their share in the property by executing a registered gift deed, then that gift deed canot be revoked now for any reason.

The sister who is now disputing about this may be asked to approach court for relief and not to fight directly with you.

If she is still continuing to do so, you may lodge a police complaint against her for creating nuisance and torturing you all.

Now the third sister the abusive one has filed a petition with the turbunal court stating that she gifted the deed wholeheartedly and bow she wants her share back as she is not happy with us. The property has been passed on from my mom to me and my brother. Would it be a problem and also how should we tackle this.

Her claim is not maintainable.

Her suit is always not tenable in law.

You have to challenge the same on merits and documentary evidence before the trial court.

If the cop is visiting the house unnecessarily, then you may contact an advocate and issue a legal notice to the visiting cop to refrain himself from unnecessarily torturing them by his frequent visits in the name of inquiry and whatever inquiry be made let him get an approval from his higher authority.

He should not take the authority in his own hands.

A copy of this notice may be endorsed to the higher police official which will bring that corrupt cop under control.

Collecting evidence is one aspect, the other aspect is write to commissioner of police, home secretary about the cop's misbehaviour. Take your aunt's signature and proceed to file a criminal intimidation (506 IPC), 294b(obscene words), 354 (Outrage the modesty of women) and 447 (trespass). If none entertains your complaint, file a private complaint in the local magistrate court.
