1) as mentioned earlier aunt will lose the case
2) she has of her own free will executed gift deed
3) your mother is absolute owner of the property
1. When your uncle had executed a partition deed in favour of your mother then no ratification of it was required to be made by his widow. Post the demise of your wife's uncle his widow could transfer only her share to your mother. If she had executed the gift deed in favour of your mother the transfer of title took place instantaneously. In a suit for cancellation of gift deed on the ground of absence of free consent the widow has to prove undue influence beyond a shade of reasonable doubt. Your mother can contest the case.
2. One can give his property to anyone he desires. Your mother's uncle was not required to adopt your mother as a condition precedent to the transfer of his property to her.
Partition deed was executed 9 years back the death of mother's uncle.In partition deed all three have got share[My mother,her uncle and auntie].After death of Uncle Mother's auntie executed a gift deed in favor of my mother of her and her husband 's property.Now when auntie went to her brother house ,he pressurized her to file a suit.to set aside gift .Now case is pending in session court.Lower court verdict is in favour of aunrie.What happen in Session court?

After death of her uncle aunt [Uncle wife] had transfer her and uncle property to Mother name by Registered Gift deed with in two month of uncle death.When she went to her brother's house he p pressurized her to file suit for changing her gift deed ,which is taken by undue influence in weak state of mind after the death of her husband.Please advise what will happen in the case?
This is incomplete information. You should state whether the registered gift deed in favor of your mother executed in the year 1978 was revoked immediately or is still under your mother's name.
If it was revoked then at that time, why did your mother not claim the same or challenge the same so long i.e., well over 35 years.?
If the gift deed was cancelled by her aunt at that time and your mother had not claimed or challenged the cancellation anytime earlier, and if the possession of property is not in your mother's hand, then due to law of adverse possession and barred by limitation, your mother has very less chance to retrieve the same.

Again an incomplete information.
What is the case filed before court and who filed it?
If the partition deed was made in your mother's favor, she has full rights to take possession and occupy the property allotted to her by the said partition, whether your mother acted upon the partition deed or not?
What are the details of the case which is pending in the court?
Since the matter is subjudice, you may wait for the court verdict.
Partition deed was executed 9 years back the death of mother's uncle.In partition deed all three have got share[My mother,her uncle and auntie].After death of Uncle Mother's auntie executed a gift deed in favor of my mother of her and her husband 's property.Now when auntie went to her brother house ,he pressurized her to file a suit.to set aside gift .Now case is pending in session court.Lower court verdict is in favour of aunrie.What happen in Session court?
The registered partition deed is valid.
The subsequent registered gift deed in your mother's favor is also valid.
You have said that the lower court verdict is in your mother's aunt's favor, what is the judgment?
Without knowing the judgment any comment given on it will be a misguiding information.
However since you have appealed the same before the district court, wait for the decision of the appellate court.
1) what basis lower court passed order in favour of aunty ?
2) once gift deed is executed your mother would be absolute owner of property
3) since yiu have challenged order of Lowe court wait for appeal to be disposed of
If the trial court has ruled in favour of your aunt then your mother can challenge it before the District Judge who can set aside the judgment of the trial court, but no one can tell you what will happen in the appellate court.
