Gift deed clarification

Court approved the ancestral property share to my aunty , me and my step sister. Totally 3 shares. In this case , can my aunty give her portion share as a gift deed to me thro proper registration. Is this valid . Can my step sister ( My father brother daughter ) object this in court of law later. Pls clarify.


Quick Summary
Following a court-approved partition of ancestral property, you, your aunt, and stepsister each own your respective shares outright. Your aunt has the full legal right to gift her portion to you via a registered gift deed. As the property has been legally divided, your stepsister has no grounds to object to this transfer in court.

After having partition of ancestral property by metes and bounds through court ,you,your aunt and step sister became absolute owner of your share of property and have every right to transfer own share to anyone through gift,sale or will,no one has right to make any objection so your step sister has no right to make any objection.

I fully agree with learned expert Mr. Bhartesh Goyal ji, your aunty is absolute owner of her share and she can gift it to you (or any one else) as she desired.

I also agree with the views expressed by the learned expert, Mr. Bhartesh Goyal Sir.  Your aunt may gift her share to you.

What do you mean by "Court approved the ancestral property share to my aunty , me and my step sister"

It appears that the property has been partitioned through the Court. 

Anyhow, there gift, as stated, is not valid.

Incidentally, father's brother's sister is your cousin, not step sister.

Your aunt becomes the absolute owner of the share of property that was allocated to her by court of law in a suit for partition.

She can very well dispose her share of property in favor of anyone and by any mode of available legal modes.

Neither your father nor anyone can object to your aunt's  acts of transferrring her share of property in your favor by executing a registered gfift deed.
