adoption of a person took place in 1951 but it was registered through an adoption deed in 1957. Now would this adoption be considered as valid according to the Hindu adoption maintenance act 1956 or will it be considered as a customary adoption?? and if it is customary adoption , it will have to be proved to be valid by the customary law that existed at that point of time.
