Summary

The appellant sought setting aside of the concurrent judgments declaring the adoption deed dated 20.07.2009 void. HELD- A valid adoption under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 requires proof of actual giving and taking of the child; an adoption deed alone is insufficient. The mandatory ceremony and subsequent treatment as adopted son were not proved. No substantial question of law arose; appeal dismissed and decrees affirmed.
