A deed of release is usually issued once a mortgage or other type of debt, previously secured against the asset, has been paid in full. After the deed of release is written, the asset is owned free and clear by the owner, and any previous claims against the asset that the lender may have had are dissolved. A release deed is something which one wants to execute if he wants to relinquish his claims over the property either for a consideration or without consideration.
In your case, your Uncle is correct in saying that land cannot be solely transferred to you through release deed as they are also the co-ownership, other allegations require consideration.
That you have right in that property to the extent the share of your grandfather in the property.
You must file a suit for partition.

There is no need of registry is cosharer or equal owner execute release deed in favor of another owner. Release deed means he has given his share to another owner for which no registered sale deed is required. For more details contact.

Very Important and interesting question. Gift deed and release deed is to be discussed and considered – The matter can rightly be reopened by the stamps and registration department because in an ancestral land the rights can be relinquished through release deed registered but self-acquired land can only be transferred either through sale deed or gift deed and government generates its revenue.

In this case, government can reopen this matter but your grandfather doesn’t have a right to challenge the transaction because he has released his rights through a document duly registered.
