Donee not signed in registered gift deed

Donee not signed gift deed. It is void or not?
My grandfather made registered gift deed of agriculture land of 10 guntas in the year 1974-75 in favour of my mother & her sister.

At the time of registration her sister not signed gift deed. My mother alone signed the gift deed. But in writing section of the gift deed both of my mother and her sister names mentioned.

From 1974 all revenue records are in my mother name alone and my mother in the possession of full extent of 10 guntas.

My questions are,
1. As my mother sister not signed in the gift deed even her name mentioned jointly with my mother in writing section of the gift deed and original gift deed with my mother. At that time of gift deed registration she not interested in that property. Is that she not accepted gift?

2. From past 35 years my mother alone in the possession.

3. Now my mother sister asking her share. Is that her claim is valid?. Please clarify. Thanks

The gift must be accepted during the lifetime of the donor, since your aunt has not accepted the part of gift to her is treated void.

Your mother'sister cannot claim her share now as she had not accepted the gift.

//Donee not signed gift deed. It is void or not?//

Donee is not required to sign the gift deed. The gift deed does not become void for the said reason.

But as the donee has not accepted the gift during the life time of donor, as far as she is concerned the gift is void, as stated by Mr.Vishal.
