Appellants failed to prove the requisite biological parentage at the time of birth required by the Federal Constitution; adoption and post‑adoption documentation cannot supply the constitutionally required facts at birth; section 19B presumption of abandonment did not apply on the evidence; Article 15A decisions are non‑justiciable; therefore the appeal fails and the High Court dismissal is upheld.
