14 June 2023
On January, HC directed the state govt not to transfer pending adoption proceedings to DMs, as mandated under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Amendment Act, 2021.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said that its order—directing the state government not to transfer pending adoption proceedings to district magistrates, as mandated under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Amendment Act, 2021—was not meant to put a stop on foreign adoptions and that it would soon pass an order clarifying the same on June 16.
