A karta does not have right to take such unilateral decisison to transfer the whole sahre to another.

So if the other members of HUF of your father agree he can do so,

If no member of the HUF has any objection, and all are willing to relinquish their rights to the property in favour of any other HUF member, the Karta can be considered to have fulfilled the provisions of law on gifting such property. He can then execute a gift deed in your favour. The provisions of Gift Tax would be attracted.

The properties under HUF to which your father is a karta, cannot be transferred to you without partition.

Hr can dissolve the HUF and partition the property after which on the basis of mutual agreement and family arrangement, he may allot you the desired portion of property as your share.

He canot gift you the property but a partition can be done.
