after the problem is solved signing the relinquish deed then it's not possible but yes the relinquish can been cancelled before the actual work is yet to be done I mean the purpose for which the relinquish deed is applicable has not been met with proper conclusions then they can cancel the deed.

Once a relinquishment deed is validly executed and registered, it cannot be unilaterally cancelled by four out of the five legal heirs. Under Indian law, a registered deed can only be cancelled through one of the following methods: Mutual Consent: All parties involved—the 4 legal heirs who wish to revoke it, the 5th heir, and the beneficiary/person in whose favour the share was released—must mutually agree to execute and register a Cancellation Deed or a Deed of Reconveyance. Civil Suit for Cancellation: If the beneficiary refuses to cancel the deed, the 4 legal heirs must file a civil suit under Section 31 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. To succeed, they must prove substantial legal grounds before the civil court, such as fraud, misrepresentation, coercion, undue influence, or lack of free consent at the time of execution. Limitation Period: A suit for cancellation of a registered document must generally be filed within 3 years from the date of execution or from the date the alleged fraud/misrepresentation came to light (under the Limitation Act, 1963). Without proving vitiating elements like fraud or obtaining mutual consent from all stakeholders, the 4 heirs cannot revoke the registered deed on their own.
