It seems that there is a dispute between you and the landowner regarding the execution of the gift deed in favor of the municipality. In this situation, it is advisable to try and resolve the dispute through negotiation and discussion.

You can try to communicate with the landowner and understand their concerns or objections to executing the gift deed. You can explain the importance of the gift deed for obtaining the occupancy certificate and the release of the caution deposit.

If the negotiation and discussion do not yield any results, you may consider seeking legal recourse. You can consult a lawyer and explore legal options such as filing a suit for specific performance of the agreement or seeking a court order to compel the landowner to execute the gift deed.

In any case, it is important to have all the necessary documents and agreements in place and to follow the legal procedures to avoid any legal issues or disputes in the future.
