Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the status of the appellant as the adopted son of late Govardhandas Laxmichand Samsuka. The Court held that the High Court's decision to declare the appellant not as the adopted son was justified, as the trial court had failed to prove the adoption. The Court emphasized the importance of evidence in adoption cases, affirming the High Court's ruling that the appellant was permanently restrained from representing himself as the son of Govardhandas.
