The registered gift deed settlement cannot be revoked by the donor unilaterally

It is invalid and not maintainable.

If he has not handed over possession, ask him to vacate the property and handover vacant possession, if he still refuses, the donee may file a suit for mandatory injunction asking him to vacate and deliver the vacant possession of the property.

1) grand father cannot revoke settlement deed without court orders

2) title to property has passed on to grand son once settlement deed was executed stamped and regd

3) grand son should move court for declaration that he is absolute owner of the property

The deed created by father is will deed ,he can alter the things in his life time. The revocation clause is not in corporate or the cancellation is denied specifically in the deed you can challenge the new deed created by father in court . filing a case for declaration of the title to grand children is only Civil remedy. If created new deeds after the settlement deed then challenge the new document.

1. Once the settlement deed is excecuted it is irrevocable. The father could not have unilaterally cancelled the deed. The only legal option available to a person who is desirous of cancelling a settlement deed, when the cancellation is not consented to by the beneficiary, is to file a lawsuit in the court.

2. The grandson or his guardian can challenge the cancellation in the court. Unless the court quashes the cancellation the same will hold ground.
