No, the gift cannot be challenged on account of change of heart at a later stage.

Re: Is Giftdeed is valid if the donar and donee are not relatives?
It is possible to get back the properties as
1]A Gift Deed in order to be enforceable needs to be compulsorily registered. A registered gift deed can be revoked by your mother on the following grounds as it is a contract:
a] Fraud by your Step Father under the Contract Act as being divorced when he infact was not.
b] Nullity of Gift Deed: as at the time of the deed your step father was not legally married to your mother.
If the lady expires
a] Before filling the suit
b] After filling the suit
If the lady expires before filling the suit, than her children have the right to file a suit against their alleged step father on the above grounds.
If the lady expires after filling the suit, than it is possible for the children to be placed in palce of the deceased lady by filling an application for bringing the legal heirs on record in place of the deceased lady, but within 2 months of the date of knowledge.
