Registration of deed of adoption is optional
2) for valid adoption there needs to be giving and taking ceremony
3) The Supreme Court made it clear that after Act of 1956 came into force, the two essential conditions, i.e. the consent of the wife and the actual ceremony of adoption will have to be proved in order to establish a valid adoption
Sir I need to prove the adoption of my father which could have happened between 1952 and 1955 ..don't know how the adoption took place ..my father biological parents, adopted parents and aslo my father are dead now ..but I need to prove the adoption in court.. So what option are available to me
You need to examine independent witnesses in whose presence rites and rituals for adoption was done
Though registration of adoption deed was essential to prove the adoption, in the absence of any such registered document, you may produce evidence to prove traditional or customary adoption and attach the documents denoting the relationship between the adopted and adoptive, namely school certificate or any other governmental identity proofs having both the names mentioned specifying their relationship.
You may rely upon the documents which contain the names of both the adopted and the adoptive parents
In the absence of a registered adoption deed you may have to rely upon certain governmental documents or educational certificates.
Dear Client,
It is mandatory to register the adoption as per the guidelines of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the provisions provided under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956.
It is advisable to produce evidence in order to prove traditional and customary adoption and documents that would help the procedure in these circumstances.
Thank you.
If it's a adoption deed then it will be registered at sub registrar office but i guess there are very less changes of the deed of 1960 to be registered. If all are dead then you need to prove the same through documents and witnesses who knows about the same
Dear Sir,
Even unregistered adoption deeds and conduct of the parties in respect of adoption will be looked into by the course as adoption was not mandatory before 1960. Thus, you have to accumulate and secure different documents and lead oral and documentary evidence in respect of adoption.
