Yes order 7 rule 11 application can be filed on ground that there is no valid cause of action as there is no relief available for plaintiff against the defendants and the law itself gives no right to the plaintiff to file a suit.

Yes, if the plaint discloses that he is adopted child of some other persons and now he is claiming share in the property of his biological parents then it is a fit case where a petition for rejection of plaint can be filed.

However if in the plaint he disputes his adoption or does not admit it at all then rejection of plaint would not survive and you will have to wait till completion of trial.

The provision of law is very clear that the adopted son has no rights over the properties of the biological father including the ancestral properties.

Any such claim made  is not maintainable in law.

According to the law of Hindu adoption and maintenance act a person adoptedhas no right to claim his share in Assets of biological father. ... After adoption, theadopted son has no share in biological parents property. The radopted son can claim share only in his adoptive parents property.

If you have transferred the property by a registered deed than you may not be able to reclaim it, however it was a verbal or oral transfer then you may stake a claim ion it based on the title deed in your favor, their application under O7 rule 11 may not be maintainable.
