A. Dear Client,
Under the law of inheritance, an adopted child got equal right enjoyed by his/her counterpart or siblings. A certificate of Adoption if issued in favour of a child in compliance of the order of the Court, it cannot be canceled outrightly after 23 years to deprive an adopted child from his or her legitimate claim and the matter is now barred by time too.

A. Good evening!
As per the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act,1956, an adopted child would still be entitled to the property from his biological family (only ancestral property). The adopted child cannot divest anyone of any property in the adopted family.
More facts about the case is required for any specific legal advice. It is advisable to contact an advocate or provide us with more details.
