Kabul orphanage struggles to feed children as funding runs dry

Adoption cannot be restricted to orphaned, abandoned children, says Bombay HC

A couple moved the High Court after the district court of Yavatmal rejected their plea on the ground that the child was not an orphan, in conflict with law, abandoned by parents or in need of care and protection. The court noted that in the present case, the petitioners were the maternal uncle and aunt of the child, and hence, are covered in the definition of 'relative' under the Act. Justice Pitale quashed and set aside the order passed by the lower court and directed it to consider the application filed by the couple afresh as expeditiously as possible.
