My father received a property as a gift from my grandmother, who has passed away, through a registered deed. Now, my uncle is trying to claim the property, saying the gift deed was made under duress. We obtained a court injunction to maintain the current situation, but he’s violating it. Can he challenge the registered gift deed after six years, and what can we do if he continues to disregard the court order?

Under Indian law, a registered gift deed can be challenged on grounds of duress, but there’s a limitation period of three years from the date of registration. If more than six years have passed, your uncle likely cannot challenge the deed. If he continues to violate the court injunction, you can file for contempt of court proceedings, which can lead to penalties for him.
