Question: - Does the gift deed written by me to my young brother is valid? If it is valid or not please let me known the best way to cancel

As per Muslim law the gift is called as 'Hiba'.

Gift is a transfer of property where interest is transferred from one living person to another, without any consideration.

Under Muslim law, Hiba (Tamlik al ain) , is an immediate and unconditional transfer of the ownership of some property or of some right, without any consideration or with some return (ewaz).

Under Section 149 of the Principles of Mahomedan Law by Mulla, three essentials to the validity of the gift should be, (i) a declaration of gift by the donor, (ii) acceptance of the gift, express or implied, by or on behalf of the donee, and (iii) delivery of possession of the subject of the gift by the donor to the donee as mentioned in Section 150. If these conditions are complied with, the gift is complete. Section 150 specifically mentions that for a valid gift there should be delivery of possession of the subject of the gift and taking of possession of the gift by the donee, actually or constructively. Then only the gift is complete. Section 152 envisages that where the donor is in possession, a gift of immovable property of which the donor is in actual possession is not complete unless the donor physically departs from the premises with all his goods and chattels, and the donee formally enters into possession.

Therefore the gift deed can be revoked if the donee has not accepted the gift or not taken possession of the property.

If the donee has not accepted the gift, then the donor may issue a notice to him and can execute a cancellation deed t cancel the registered gift deed already executed. There will not be mch cost except the registration charges.

Then you have to file a suit before court making proper pleadings giving substantial reasons for cancelling the registered gift deed.

You cannot revoke gift deed unilaterally.If you want to cancel the deed you have only one option to approach the court .Your presence is important for filing a case. If your not here give power of attorney to wife or close relative for conducting the case.

1. A gift deed i.e hibanama among Muslims does not require mandatory registration. The gift deed can be executed by a mere delivery of possession to the donee. The gift is valid only if it is relatable to the extent of your own share in the property.

2. A gift deed which is unconditional cannot be unilaterally cancelled by the donor after it has been executed. It can be cancelled only by the court. To get a favourable decree from the court you ought to prove that the gift deed was executed under coercion or fraud.
