Legal Question in Family Law in India

A Hindu person, not having a son or son's son or son's son's son, adopted his own dependent widow daughter's minor son. Adoption deed registered at sub-register office in West Bengal. But after his death, unfortunately, the Railway official refused his adopted son's appeal to consider compassionate appointment as adopted son. Mentioning that the 'Adoption Deed' is invalid in the eye of law. Now here is my query regarding this. 1) Can a Hindu person adopt his own widow daughter's minor son in the eye of law? 2) How could the adopted son proof that the 'Adoption Deed' is valid in West Bengal?
