Can adoption can be cancelled once it is registered?


25-Nov-2023 (In Child Custody Law)
My father has an younger brother(my Chacha) who doesn't have children, in my house we are 2 brothers(i'm younger). I went to my chacha home as adaption at the age of 25yrs (adaption deed made as I went at 14 yrs). Coming to the point: My own father has 32 acres of property,the whole thing goes to my brother only. Where as chacha has 14 acers only ,it comes to me. But while giving me to adaption..they promised verbally that they will share the properties equally. Now I want to cancel the adaption,& want to go back to my own parents...& to fight against with my brother for equal share. My question: Is the adaption can be cancelled once it is registered?

Section 15. of the HIndu Adoption and Maintenance Act says Valid adoption not to be cancelled. –

No adoption which has been validly made can be cancelled by the adoptive father or mother or any other person, nor can be adopted child renounce his or her status as such and return to the family of his or her birth.
