My grandfather gifted our family home to my father. My aunt signed a document agreeing to this, stating she didn’t want any share in the property. However, she now claims possession using blank stamp papers my grandfather gave her years ago for unrelated matters. Can she legally use these papers to file a case against my father? What can we do to prevent this?

Your aunt cannot use the blank stamp papers to claim possession of the house as they are unrelated to the property transfer. The document she signed acknowledging the gift to your father is legally binding. You can approach the court to prevent her claim, presenting the signed document as evidence.
