Gift Deed can not be cancelled unless it is a conditional Gift, 2. Challenge the said so called cancellation of Gift Deed in your favour & further registration of the Gift Deed of the same property

Once the property had been gifted it can't be cancelled without the order of the court, and you can't cancel the gift unless and until order of the court it is better file a suit for cancellation of gift deed in the court and for other appropriate reliefs.

You have to prove the Deed is Not Registered as the proof of Burden lie on You

Listen up! In Indian law, a deed that is not registered will never become operative. Not even after 30 years. The Transfer of Property Act 1882 and The Registration Act 1908 both state that a gift of movable property may be made by a signed and witnessed instrument.
