Re: Cancellation of Settlement Deed

I have not come across terms as "settlement deed" or "settlor" in Indian law / TPA. Please educate me the basis of your using these terms.

You may restate your facts clearly or else send a copy of the "settlement deed" as attachment with your e-mail to make an objective assessment of your question.

If the "Settlement Deed" means "Family Settlement", then it may be changed if the possession is not taken over by the Beneficiary or handed over by the Settler.
