CORAM : R.S.MOHITE, J. DATE : 5th August 2010. P.C.: . These group of matters filed in the last two years have been placed on (Sr.Nos.5 to 187) 25 board to check if there is compliance regarding furnishing of bond and submission of progress reports in respect of children involved. In all matters the bond was required to be furnished in the sum of Rs.60,000/- in order to ensure that the child would be repatriated to India if certain adverse circumstances arose. In all the matters the undertaking to submit progress reports was to the effect that such reports would be sent every three months for a period of two years and every six months for the next three years. There was a further undertaking to adopt the minor child within a period of two years in accordance with the law of the adoptive parents. It is noticed that in several of these matters as listed today, a bond and/or progress reports have not been furnished as per the undertakings given. In several matters there is no material to ascertain as to whether the child has been adopted as per the undertaking given. All the petitions have been filed through an constituted attorney of the foreign adoptive parents who is a social worker working with a Recognised Indian Placement Agency “RIPA”. 2. Some of the advocates appearing for some of the petitioners state that some progress reports have been received by the advocate but have not been filed as the number of the petitions are not clearly mentioned thereon. (Sr.Nos.5 to 187) 26 3. It is necessary and urgent to find out the present position of the several Indian children who have been given away in foreign adoptions and whose present conditions and status is unknown. In the circumstances, the following directions are passed: (1) For a period of two weeks from today the erstwhile advocates are permitted to file proof of filing of bonds, bonds which are received but not filed and/or fresh bonds as well as proof of filing progress reports, progress reports which are received but not filed and/or fresh progress reports in the Foreign Adoption Petitions which are shown on board today; (2) After the period of two weeks is over, the office to update the list wherein there is a breach of undertaking either in furnishing a bond or in submitting a progress report as per the undertaking; (3) In cases where a breach of undertaking is found to persist a notice under the Contempt of Courts Act will issue to the Constituted Attorney of the petitioner calling upon him/her to show cause as to why action under Contempt of Courts Act should not be taken against them for breach of undertaking as recorded in the (Sr.Nos.5 to 187) 27 Judges Order. Notice will be returnable on 21st October 2010; (4) Before the returnable date either the petitioner, their constituted attorneys or their advocates wish to file a bond as per undertaking or file a progress report which was required to be furnished as per the undertaking, or proof of filing of the same, the office will take the same on records without prejudice to orders to be passed on the notice; (5) The petitioners, through their Constituted Attorneys or otherwise are also expected to make an enquiry regarding the current progress and status of the child and to file an affidavit relating to the same on or before the next date; (6) It is noticed that under Rule 6.6 of Chapter VI of the CARA Guidelines the enlisted foreign agency/Central authorities are required to submit reports to CARA as well as to this Court. Issue notice to CARA returnable on 21st October 2010; 4. On or before the next date CARA to file an affidavit indicating as to (Sr.Nos.5 to 187) 28 whether any such follow up reports have been received in the cases in respect of which notice is served upon it. It is also expected that if the enlisted foreign agency has failed in its duty to send the report as per Rule 6.6, CARA should initiate an enquiry and/or procedure for de-enlistment as contained in Rule 6.5 and will place before this Court the action taken against the enlisted foreign agency/Central authority in accordance with CARA guidelines.
