Court notice to Centre on PIL

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has issued notices to the Centre and others on a PIL which sought proper framing of guidelines by the Government to facilitate adoption of Indian children by foreigners.

A Division Bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Vijender Jain while asking the respondents -- Ministry of Social Justice and the Delhi Government to file their replies posted the matter for further hearing to September 20.

The petitioner Sandeep Chilana in his PIL filed through counsel Aparajita claimed that in the absence of proper guidelines for inter-country adoptions, hundreds of abandoned, orphan and runaway children were either loitering on the roads or languishing in the various children remand homes, which lacked basic infrastructural and rehabilitation facilities. - PTI
