https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174796 Section 16 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act creates only a rebuttable presumption when a registered adoption deed is produced, because the statutory words "unless and until it is disproved" preserve the need for proof. The Court also reiterated that actual giving and taking under Section 11(vi) is an essential requirement for a valid adoption. On the evidence, including material inconsistent with the claimed adoption, the concurrent findings that the adoption was not proved were not shown to be perverse, so no appellate interference was warranted. en-us Thu, 14 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:26:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174796 Section 16 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act creates only a rebuttable presumption when a registered adoption deed is produced, because the statutory words "unless and until it is disproved" preserve the need for proof.
