Delhi HC Rejects Adoption Plea, Urges CARA to Strengthen Referral Safeguards
The Delhi High Court ruled that prospective adoptive parents cannot claim a legal right to adopt a child solely based on accepting a referral and CARA processing their application if they are ineligible under adoption laws. The court dismissed a Singapore-based couple's plea after CARA rejected their application due to statutory ineligibility. It also identified administrative lapses by CARA in the referral process and directed the authority to strengthen safeguards, verify eligibility, and ensure timely processing, emphasizing the child's welfare within legal frameworks.
