Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment and decree, and remitting the matter for fresh disposal. The Court noted that the respondents' plea of adoption was unsustainable due to lack of documentary evidence and the improbability of the natural father giving his only son in adoption. The Court emphasized the need for a detailed examination of the voluminous documentary evidence presented by the appellant, ensuring both parties are heard in the fresh proceedings.
