Adoption Deed Adoption deed is to be executed by the surviving biological parent of the child who has to be adopted. Since the father of the child is dead your daughter-in-law may file a suit for declaration of the death of the biological father of her child and a further declaration of her being the sole guardian of the child. Thereafter, she may execute an adoption deed in favour of her husband and apply for change of name in the passport. Without a court order the RPO is most unlikely to change the name even if adoption deed is executed.

WE HAVE APPLIED FOR RE-ISSUE OF PASSPORT OF SIDDHESH VAIBHAV POKHARNA TO CHANGE THE NAME WITH SIDDHESH SACHIN GUGLE. THE PASSPORT OFFICE HAS ASKED FOR THE COURT ORDER. I WANT TO KNOW THE SECTION & ACT UNDER WHICH THE COURT ORDER IS TO OBTAINED.
you need Court Order appointing step father as a Legal Guardian of child .The courts are empowered to appoint guardians under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890.
Section 7 of the Guardian and Wards Act deals with the power of the Court to make an order, as to guardianship and it reads as follows:
"7. Power of the Court to make order as to guardianship.-(1) Where the Court is satisfied that it is for the welfare of a minor that an order should be made--
(a) appointing a guardian of his person or property, or both, or
(b) declaring a person to be such a guardian, the Court may make an order accordingly.
The Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act is supplementary to and not in derogation to Guardians and Wards Act
Though I may inform that suit for declaration is filed under section 34 of the Specific relief Act I have serious reservations agaisnt this advice or in other words I differ with this idea.
