Dear Sir,
The contents are more important. You may file suit for declaration.

In your instant query need to look and review all the documents to gives you legal opinion.Verily, it appears from your case that the property where you are claiming so might be under trust or wakf under Muslim sharia Law I believe and more so, the wakf have now more tooth to evict you. Why cant you approach an advocate by shelling some money towards his consultant fee and take an opinion?

Asgher mahdi sir I have my father's name in 7/12 and there it shows BADA PATTA where have possession since 100 years we have contract of mutwali in which every thing is written with two witness and we are paying tax and tax recipients are also comes with my grand mother's name .....and other thing which I predict about jagirdar he dont have any documents which I hold so can it be done like if I give him some money to permenant settlement or there is no need for this I face him directly him in court if he dont agree

As per your contention it is a leasehold property and not a freehold property.
Also you have mentioned tht the lease period came to an end 15 years ago and that the Mutawali stopped accepting the rent from the date of termination of the lease agreement.
The 7/12 records are not title document.
As a matter of fact your grandmother cannot transfer this property to your father's name especially after the expiration of the lease agreement.
The oral Hiba also is no doubt valid and it is legally acceptable but the essence of gift/Hiba is not available here.
Hiba is governed by the Muslim Personal Law.
Hiba is a transfer of property by act of the parties and not by operation of law.
Under Hiba, a living Muslim voluntarily transfers the ownership of any property to another living person. Hence, it is a transfer inter vivos.
Hiba is operative with immediate effect and deprives the transferor of his control and ownership over the property. Moreover, as the property is passed immediately to the transferee, the property must be in existence at the time when the gift is made. A gift made for a property which will exist is future is termed as void.

Thus you may weigh the probabilities to retain the property legally or you can approach court of law with a suit for declaration of title by perfecting law of adverse possession on the basis of documentary evidences in your support to prove your possession.
