A deed of settlement is a form of a gift deed and the transfer of property act clearly debars a person to revoke the deed of gift, so once a gift deed its always a gift deed and the same cannot be cancelled unilaterally. A settlement deed can be cancelled or declared null and void only through a civil court decree

You have stated that a settlement deed was made in 2014 and cancelled in 2015. You have not stated whether both the settlement deed and the revocation deed were duly executed by all the parties concerned and registered with the Sub-Registrar's Office concerned. These facts can be verified only in an encumbrance certificate. Assuming both deeds were duly registered, the revocation deed is legally valid nullifying the earlier settlement deed.
