The Bombay High Court recently allowed Preet Mandir to continue the adoption process of 17 children that had begun before the adoption home’s licences were revoked. “All these 17 cases are of foreign adoption and Central Adoption Resources Agency (CARA) has undertaken to give a no-objection certificate in these 17 inter-country adoptions,” said advocate Ajit Kulkarni, who represented Preet Mandir in the Bombay High Court.
The two-member bench of Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice R P Sondur-Baldota on Wednesday set aside the cancellation of adoption license of Preet Mandir stating it is against natural justice, but said the licences remain to be suspended till the the case continues in the court. Though the move has come as a major relief for the 17 adoptions, the court is yet to decide on whether the remaining children in Preet Mandir can be transferred to another adoption house. The matter is expected to be heard on September 16.
