During the proceedings, the CWC directed that DNA testing be conducted.
Despite the DNA report establishing the parentage, the CWC passed an order on November 18, 2024, declaring the child abandoned and the biological parents “incapacitated” to take him back.
The Committee directed the Specialized Adoption Agency to proceed with the legally free for adoption process.
The Court held that the Committee had also failed to establish the basis on which it concluded that the biological parents were incapacitated.
“Since beginning the petitioner as well as Ritam Das is claiming to be the biological parents,” the Court noted.
