Exclusion from deed of gift

Soumen Seal (Querist) 12 June 2013 This query is : Resolved
My father had inherited house property from my grandfather through Will.We are two brothers, me being the eldest.
Now, recently, he has transferred the said property to my younger brother,omitting me, through registered Deed of Gift.
My questions are :

1) Can my father do this, just because he wishes my brother to be the only owner of that property ?

2) What are the clauses under which he can exclude me from the property right, which originally belonged to my grandfather?

3)Can I contest to such act ? If yes, on which grounds ?

Thanks

I presume it was self acquired property of your grand father which was bequeathed to your father by will . since your father became absolute owner of the property he could by will gift deed transfer the same in name of his younger son . once gift deed is made and regd your brother becomes absolute owner of said property . in case you challenge the gift chances of success are bleak .
