My grandmother have two sons ans she dont have any brother so she got 6 acre of land from her father. 
She wrote that 6 acre in my uncle's name about 10 years ago.
My grand father died long ago. At my home about 5 acre land is there,that is not divided between my father and uncle.Now my uncle wants half share from 5 acre land.My uncle has written that 6 acre land to his wifes name,which she further wrote to her sons(my cousin).
since my grandmother has two son,can she write whole property to her one son(uncle)?

If your grandmother execute any registered deed of gift in favour of your uncle during her life time or left a WILL in your uncle's name and which was granted by competent court of law then your father can not claim.On the other she did not make any WILL or did not gift during her life time and left the property in her own name then your father can claim half share of the property.

1. In whose name is the 5 acre land currently registered? If it is registered in the name of your grand mother then she can certainly write it in the favour of your uncle if she received/purchases it validly, or is otherwise legally authorized to write it in favour of your uncle.

2. As regards the 6 acre land it needs to be ascertained as to how this land was given to your grand mother by her father, whether the same was mutated in her favour and also by which instrument she wrote it in your uncle's name.
