Your mother got the property from his sister as a gift settlement deed. that will be treated as self-acquired property. so your mother has right to do as she wishes. so they cannot get benefit though they file case.

Your brother and sister have no cause of action to approach a court of law. As already stated, the property is self acquired and your mother has the absolute discretion to dispose in any meaner during her lifetime.

If the settlement deed is valid/registered the nature of property acquired thru such deed is self acquired.
The owner can dispose self acquired property by such deed.

Vague query with incomplete information.
What are the terms and conditions of so called "Settlement Deed" between your mother and her sister?
Similarly the terms and conditions of the "Settlement Deed" between you and your mother are relevant to specify the title of the property, therefore it is imperative to peruse the "Settlement Deeds" to form an opinion and advise about challenges and threats against the "Deeds".
