The court was disposing off a PIL by NGO Advait Foundation seeking a moratorium on foreigners adopting Indian children, alleging that many children who are illegally taken away faced post-adoption abuse.

Observing that children required to be protected from abuse and trafficking, the Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre to frame effective regulations within three months for making inter-country adoptions foolproof and transparent.

This was after the Ministry for Child and Women Development and Central Adoption Research Agency (CARA) told SC that a legal framework for intra and intercountry adoption has been provided in the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 which came into effect from January 15. The rules and regulations are yet to be framed by CARA, the nodal agency for adoption, which also has to issue certain directions to state governments.

"We are told that the new Act is a comprehensive legislation on subjects involving care and protection of children including adoption. So a legislative framework is there but some regulations are required to make it effective. We hope and trust the authorities concerned take speedy steps. Children are to be protected against abuse and trafficking. The beneficial legislation may be made more effective to provide succor to children who may be adopted by framing necessary rules and regulations," said a bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur.

"Central government shall expeditiously frame model rules. The centre shall also take up matter with state government. Interest of children is supreme whether it is in-country or intercountry adoption. The mechanism should be effective, transparent and credible," said the bench.

The Court held that “the prosecution of the petitioner is sugarcoated with ill-intention and made to belittle his image in the society.” ...

Madhya Pradesh High Court: In a writ petition seeking quashment of an FIR registered against the petitioner, who operates an orphanage, for alleged involvement in male trafficking under Section 370 of the IPC, a single-judge bench of Sanjay Dwivedi, J., quashed the FIR alleging male trafficking as the essential elements of Section 370 IPC were absent. 

Factual Matrix I

n the instant matter, the petitioner, Aadhaarshila Sansthan, operates two institutions (i) Bal Bhawan (earlier known as Central India Christian Mission), an orphanage registered as a Child Care Institution under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act) and Central India Academy, a residential school not falling under the JJ Act’s Child Care Institution definition.

In a communication dated 06-08-2024, the City Superintendent of Police, Damoh, sought detailed records regarding children residing in Bal Bhawan and raised concerns about how they were received, their medical records, and whether proper notifications to authorities were made

Following this, an FIR was registered against the petitioner on 07-08-2024, for offenses under Sections 370(3), 370(4), and 34 of the IPC, along with Section 80 of the JJ Act. The FIR was grounded on allegations of improper post-adoption follow-up of two children, ‘X-Bhosle’ and ‘X-Dhurvey’, who were reportedly found living at the orphanage after being adopted. The petitioner filed the present writ petition seeking to quash both the communication dated 06-08-2024 and the FIR.

The GLP Thurgau has submitted a simple request to the government council to shed light on the illegal adoptions of Indian children between 1973 and 2002. Several cases are said to concern the canton of Thurgau.

The report "Mother Unknown", which was commissioned by the cantons of Zurich and Thurgau, "reveals serious misconduct", according to a statement from the Thurgau Green Liberals. Many adoptions were carried out without the consent of the biological mothers and on the basis of forged documents.

"The adoptions were not just acts of charity, but also a business model," the GLP states. Homes in India released children for adoption and received money from Switzerland. "Despite missing or incomplete documents, the relevant authorities in Thurgau approved the adoptions. This means that the canton shares responsibility."

Lack of proper monitoring is cause for worry

By Divya Ramamurthi

CHENNAI DEC. 26. Five years after adoption, polio-affected M.Cynthia was abandoned by her German parents. They sent her back to a friend's house in Chennai in September 2000 because of adjustment problems. The adoption scrutinising agencies had no idea that she was back in India or that she had been facing problems with her adoptive parents. They had no clue to her being treated as hired help by the Chennai family, says Vidya Shankar, Chairperson, Juvenile Welfare Board.
