No. Your father cannot cancel the gift deed. If both parties i.e. the donor and donee can execute a cancellation deed of a registered gift deed but a single party cannon do it. so approach the court. But his wife and children also have equal rights over the property of your brother.

Consequent upon death of your brother his widow is one of the LRs amongst others, viz; his (deceased's) children, mother / father etc. as per personal laws governing the case.
Move to concerned civil court through a local prudent lawyer for issuance of permanent and mandatory injunctions against his (your brother's) widow restraining her from disposing the property.

Under sec 23 of senior citizen welfare and maintenance act 2007,Doner of property a senior citizen may file petition before SDM ( Tribunal ) for revocation of gift deed in case donee ( children ) Does not care to their elderly ( Doner ).File petition immediately so son's wife could not proceed for transfer the gifted property.

Any suggestion depends upon the personal law applicable to your community and terms and conditions, if any, in the gift deed.

There appears to be a remedy if the provisions of Hindu Succession Act are not applicable and /or the gift deed was executed by the father when a senior citizen.
