    The District Court in Nangguneri granted the declaration relief sought by the plaintiffs, recognizing the third defendant (a minor child) as the legally adopted daughter of the first and second plaintiffs under Hindu adoption law, based on the registered adoption deed dated 14.03.2019 and testimony of witnesses. The court invoked Section 16 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, which presumes valid compliance with adoption provisions when a registered document is produced, since the biological parents (defendants 1 and 2) did not contest the adoption and appeared as one-sided party.
