LE Asked by Legal Expert from India
Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
A gift deed can be challenged in Kolkata on grounds of fraud, undue influence, coercion, or if the donor was not of sound mind at the time of execution. You must file a suit for cancellation of the gift deed before the civil court in West Bengal within three years of knowledge of the gift. Under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997, a registered gift deed of immovable property cannot be revoked unless there is a valid ground for cancellation. You must produce evidence of the donor's mental condition and the circumstances under which the gift was made. If the lower court dismisses the suit, you can appeal to the Calcutta High Court under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997.
