Discussion
Which one of the landmark cases decided by the Supreme Court of India highlighted the fact that Indian children of tender age are under the guise of adoption exposed to long journey, risk to their lives and such children during the course of time become beggars or prostitutes for want of proper care.
Answer: C
The case is Laxmikant Pandey Vs. Union of India (1984).
Acting on a letter complaining about malpractice in the adoption of Indian children by foreigners, the Supreme Court noted that children were exposed to long journeys and risks, and sometimes ended up as beggars or prostitutes. It laid down detailed safeguards for inter-country adoption, which later formed the basis of the CARA guidelines.
Baburao Mane and Sita Bai v. Ramchandra concern the validity and effect of adoption under Hindu law. Narinderjit Kaur is not the case on inter-country adoption abuse.
