Land purchase

We are planning to purchase a land in Bangalore from the vendor called T. Sukesh Reddy. He got this land as Gift deed from his mother Kumari. Kumari wife of T. Narayana Reddy. They have 3 childern
N. Sukesh Reddy, N kumar Reddy and N Sri Devi reddy. When T Narayana Reddy passed away, All revenue records got transfered to Kumari. And N Sri Devi reddy gave GPA to her mother Kumari as she lives in USA.
Now can we buy the land from N Sukesh Reddy? He agreed to bring N kumar Reddy and Kumari as consenting witness. Or should we ask for Relinquishment deed?

Being governed by Hindu Succession Act, 1956 all three children and their mother have equal share in the intestate property left by T Narayana Reddy, accordingly Gift Deed executed by mother in favour of T Sukesh Reddy and his own share can be sold / purchased, if his other 2 siblings did not relinquish their shares in favour of T Sukesh Reddy.

It would be better to consult a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts and professional advise.
