JUDGMENT
Prathiba M. Singh, J. The present three cases raise important issues relating to international adoption of Indian children. In all three cases, the children, as also their biological parents are in India but the adoptive parents are mostly settled abroad. The adoptions have been carried out under the provisions of the Hindu Adoptions & Maintenance Act, 1956 (`HAMA'). However, there are challenges being faced in the movement of the child abroad, including in obtaining passports and visas for the adopted children. Hence these writ petitions.
