The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday, March 28, directed the Central government to recognize the adoption of a child from Uganda by an Indian couple. The court remarked while stating that Uganda is not a signatory to the Hague Adoption Convention. The high court bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna stated that Uganda not being a signatory of the Convention could not be at reason to alienate the rights of a child of Indian citizens. "Even though the adoption has not happened under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, and in a country which is not a signatory to Hague Convention, but adoption has happened, the rights of a child of Indian citizens, who have adopted, cannot be left marooned," the court stated. Karnataka High Court Imposes Rs 1 Lakh Cost After Karnataka Examination Authority 'Illegally' Allots MD Respiratory Seat to Another Candidate.
