Partition deed was executed in February 1981 

 

2) once mother  has relinquished her share in property it would be binding on your mother 

 

3) if your mother was not mentally fit at time of execution of partition deed suit if any to set aside partition deed ought to have been filed at earlierst 

 

4) suit to set aside partition deed after 37 years would not be maintainable and you would not get any reliefs from court

See first of all suit will be time barred secondly your mother has signed same relinquishment deed so chances of succeeding in such suit shall be bleak but still suit can be filed and there are some chances it can succeed based on evidence and fact, now your mother can file suit on ground she was not having knowledge of such document as she was in hospital on same day and by cheating they took signature she was in presumption that her brother enjoy property under permissive possession and she can ask for same when required. So this can be ground of challenge.

Sir the health ground will be major ground for challenging the said deed. Since she was treated for brain related injury the ground can be raised her consent to document was not free and it was obtained with fraudulently. Further if the deed is registered then it can be problematic as for registered deed record before the sub registrar may be available and if she put her thumb before sub registrar the suit wont survive.

1) the partition deed is duly stamped and registered 

 

2)you have to file suit to set aside partition deed if partition deed was fraudulently executed 

 

3) the delay of 37 years in filing suit has to be explained

You can reach the objection on the relinquishment deed on the grounds of the brain congestion that he she is not performing well and cannot remember and she was treated for that but the property is not ancestral property and she have the right to relinquishment her share in favour of anybody by way of gift deed even after the challenge there are very less possibility that you will win the case

You can challenge but you need to prove in court that the said relinquishment was illegal on her mental condition which is rather difficult

Dear Sir,

The relinquishment deed seems not genuine. Some pressure must have used to sign such deed. You can challenge such deed and get an order of set aside of the same.  The other history is required to come to concrete conclusion.

The registered relinquishment  deed canot be challenged even by the releaser at this time because it should have been challenged within three years from the date of its execution.

Since it was executed in the year 1981 and it was very well in the knowledge of your mother who survived more than three decades after that, no claim in that aspect is maintainable  at this stage.

The deed executed in the year 1981 should have been challenged by your mother within three years from the date of its excecution or at least three years from the date of her knowledge, hence no such claim is maintainable in law as it is very badly barred by limitation.
