once gift deed is made by grand mother title to property passes on to grand son . I presume gift deed was duly stamped and registered . she cannot subsequently execute another gift deed in respect of same property for the simple reason that once gift deed is made she is no longer owner of the property . the subsequent gift deed is null and void . you don't need judgements for said proposition

Once gift deed in respect of a property was made by this lady the property could not have been the subject matter of another gift deed as she ceased to be the owner of this property as soon as the gift deed was stamped in accordance with law. Hence, it follows that the subsequent deed of the same property, except by the donee, is void.

No case laws are required, albeit you may search if you want a few.
