Guidance for registration for child adoption by mutual consent

My niece has adopted the son of my nephew (Her real brother's son) at Rajkot,Gujarat by mutual understanding. They have already registered the adoption with Registrar.
Now the Municipal Corporation Authority is asking for Court order for change of parent hood in Birth Certificate. We have filed the petition with court of family matters, but family court says this matter is out of jurisdiction of the family court.

Can anyone advise me,
1. Is the court order necessary, when we have registered the adoption by mutual understanding?
2. If yes, which court can issue such orders?

Pls advise us on urgent base.

Regards,
