Can a property settlement deed be canceled by the person who gave the property, even if it’s not registered? The deed has signatures from 6 witnesses, including a police officer, two lawyers, and other family members.

In India, an unregistered property settlement deed is not legally enforceable. However, the deed’s validity can be challenged in court on grounds of fraud, undue influence, or coercion. The presence of witnesses, including professionals, may strengthen the deed’s credibility but doesn’t automatically make it legally binding.
