Under section 125 of TPA,it would be deemed void as if no gift at all was made to the daughter who did not accept the gift;hence the property gifted but unaccepted remains with donor[father] as he was the owner,and still remains the owner.

If a donor proposes and donee accepts only then procedure of a valid gift completes and if donee refuses then there is no gift and thus property proposed to be gifted to such person remains with the person proposing for gift intact.
