Orders of Some Courts for Registration of Adoption Deeds Despite Adoption Orders Issued Under JJ Act
___ Order dated 21.12.2016 [para 38(1)] of Ld. District Judge, Raigarh (Chhattisgarh) in Misc. Civil Case No.75/2016, directing the adoptive parents to execute Adoption Deed, despite the said Order being passed under JJ Act, 2015.
____ Judgement dated 14.08.2013 of Hon’ble High Court of Bombay (Division Bench) in Writ Petition No.1617/2013, vide which it has been observed that it is the act of adoption and not an Adoption Deed which confers the status of an adopted son. A perfectly valid adoption can be made without an Adoption Deed (para 9) and the issuance of passport for the child could be made in accordance of law, without insisting upon production of registered Adoption Deed (para 13).

Why many a query? What is the real issue?
Raj Kumar Makkad
(Expert) 18 April 2020
The clear words used in Section 16 of the Act emphatically require that in the event of production of a registered document of adoption, the party challenging the document has to disprove that the adoption has not been made in compliance with the provisions of this Act. The said mandatory clause imposes heave onus on the party challenging the registered adoption deed to disprove the claim of adoption but post the real facts so as to facilitate the experts to reply exactly what ever the problem is coming before you. You can even personally get the advice if not on this public place.

what is the fun in spread one simple query on so many threads without giving complete (even matrial facts on even a single thread.
Beware. Prima-facie no adoption is valid unless :--
1. Registered
2. Consent to natural parents (court permission in case of orphan)
3. Child to be hindu
4. Natural parents to be hindu
5. Adoptive parents to be hind
6. Child not already adopted
7. Child below15 yeas
8. Child not married
If really having a problem and wanting to have considered views of experts, give all facts in one thread.

The essentials prescribed by section 6 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 are:
1. The person adopting has the capacity, and also the right, to take in adoption;
2. The person giving in adoption has the capacity to do so;
3. The person adopted is capable of being taken in adoption; and
4. The adoption is made in compliance with the other conditions mentioned in this Chapter.
Section 17 of the Registration Act specifically refers to the documents of which registration is compulsory. The deed of adoption is not one of the documents mentioned in sub-section 1 of Section 17 which mandatorily required registration. Sub-section 3 of Section 17 only refers to the mandatory requirement of registration of an authorization that may be given for adopting a son executed after 01.01.1872 if such authorization was not conferred by a Will. Dealing with the said provision relating to authorization, it has been held in the decision reported in Vishvanath Ramji Karale V. Rahibai Ramji Karale and others - AIR 1931 Bombay 105 by a deed of adoption as distinguished from authority to adopt does not require registration.

It is very strange that one of the experts uses one thread for intimating the author that his query is repeated. In subsequent thread he asks the additional facts from the author and then in third thread, he without waiting for the real facts posts his reply presuming and assuming the facts. If the reply had to be offered, what was need for the first two h=threads? If first thread had to be mentioned then there was no need for two subsequent and vice versa. Again score hungering tactics.

The registration is no mandatory only n case the adoption is through an agency. As the agency itself stands registered hence it has not been made compulsion to separately register the adoption but the query of the author is not related with the adoption agency hence the reply of expert Rajender Kumar Goyal is not applicable in the present matter.
