SC asks Centre, States to frame rules for adoption

In a step to ensure welfare of children in case of adoptions, the Supreme Court has asked Central and state governments to frame rules for adoption under the new Juvenile Justice Act of 2015. A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur yesterday said, the interest of children both in intra-country and inter-country adoptions, has to be protected. <br/><br/>It observed that the process of adoption has to be transparent. In its hearing over a plea, the bench, however, refused to order CBI probe into the alleged adoption racket in the country. It asked NGO Advait Foundation, which had filed the PIL in 2012, to come out with the specific allegations.
