The man's son cannot claim the amount. There are several legal impediments and it is not possible to recover the amount unless it is proved that there was fraud or coercion involved.

His son has no right to claim the amount which was given as a gift to other person by his father.

The only civil remedy available to the son of the donor is a suit for recovery which has evidently become time-barred. Besides the others, such suit will be barred on the ground of being filed beyond prescribed period of limitation.
