You can challange the gift deed on the basis of the mental condition of your mother.

Gift deed is liable to be challenged in the given facts before civil court at the earliest and also seek stay order in the same suit.

Better collect the medical history of your mother (if possible the doctor's prescription etc., which mentions about your mother's medical/mental condition).
You also check up when was the gift deed got registered (whether in the recent past when your mother was seriously sick or prior to your mother becoming sick - that will make a lot of difference)
After checking up the above position, and if you are sure that the gift deed has been got registered by manipulation and when your mother's mental condition was not sound and stable, then take steps to immediately challenge the gift deed when your mother is still alive. That will give the court an opportunity to appreciate the mental condition of your mother and to gauge the veracity of the genuineness of the Gift Deed. DO NOT UNNECESSARILY WASTE TIME IN APPROACHING THE COURT.
