Hindu Adoption & Maintenance Act, 1956–Sec. 6–Suit for permanent injunction–Dismissal of–Claim of the plaintiff that he is the adoptive son of H–Defendant no. 1 (wife of H) has categorically denied this fact–Appellant admitted before the Trial Court that in all relevant documents, name of his father is recorded as M and not H–He also admitted that at the time of adoption, no ceremonies were performed or photographs were taken–Mere recital in the sale deed (Ex. 2) alone cannot be considered as a valid/conclusive proof of adoption unless specific evidence of giving and taking in adoption is available on the record–Held, suit was rightly dismissed.
