Adoption Without Registered Deed Has No Legal Standing
The Allahabad High Court clarified that a registered deed is compulsory for adoption in Uttar Pradesh.
The court pointed out that after January 1, 1977, no adoption in Uttar Pradesh is legally valid unless executed through a registered deed.
Court Ruling
A division bench comprising Justice Rajan Roy and Justice Prashant Kumar dismissed a special appeal filed by Arun and another challenging an order of a single judge.
- The single judge had rejected their claim of custody over a minor girl on the ground that their adoption deed was not registered.
- The case arose from a Habeas Corpus petition filed by the natural parents of the child.
- The single judge had directed that the child's custody remain with them.
Adoption in Uttar Pradesh can only be legally recognized if it is executed through a registered deed.
