Mr.Anant Iyanger for the Petitioners. Mr. D. Hariharan, representative of ICSW P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Today, the members of the Placement Agencies are present in pursuance to the private notices contemplated in my earlier order dated 16.8.2006. The representatives of the V.C.A. Mumbai are also present. Submission is made that in an order dated 11.4.2000 passed by this court in Foreign Adoption Petition No.49/2000, it was contemplated that if there is reference to the VCA and the VCA gives clearance stating that no parents are available, second reference to the VCA should be made if there is delay of more than eight months. It is made clear that as far as placement agencies are concerned, if on the basis of the first VCA clearance, they obtained firm written commitment from a foreign family to take the child concerned in adoption, then it will not be necessary to apply for second VCA clearance. It is also made clear that my earlier directions dated 16.8.2006 will apply only from the date of the order and will not affect NOC’s/Clearance’s already given prior to the said date. :2: (R. S.
