    Case Summary: Review.Pet./97/2018 Court: Gauhati High Court Decision: The review petition is ALLOWED. The court vacated the February 22, 2018 judgment in RSA No. 73/2013 and restored that appeal for reconsideration. Key Reasoning: The court found that discovery of the primary school admission register from 1962 (showing the petitioner's age at admission) constitutes new and important evidence justifying review. Although respondents argued lack of due diligence, the Supreme Court had previously rejected this ground. The school register is directly relevant to whether Bajranglal Modi was under 15 years old when adopted in 1971 (a requirement under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act). The court also left open the issue of whether the natural mother's consent was obtained for the adoption. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
