application for appointment of guardian of such child is pending, will satisfy itself of the
said fact and if the court is so satisfied, clearance of the Juvenile Court will be dispensed
with. All the other requirements set out in the main judgment and the supplemental
judgment will however continue to be applicable.

involving inter-country adoption, are not being followed which prescribes that the entire
procedure should be completed by the Court expeditiously as far as possible within a
period of two months from the date of filing of applications for the guardianship of child.
The proceedings on the application for guardianship should be held in Court in camera

guardianship, the entire proceedings including the papers and documents should be

Upon consideration of the above matter, the Hon'ble Court has desired that the
Family Courts or the Court assigned to deal with such nature of cases under your
administrative control should be thoroughly impressed to adhere to the directions given
by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Lakshmi Kant Pandey v. Union of India; (1984) 2 SCC

months from the date of filing of the application.
While enclosing a copy of the judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court delivered in the
above noted case alongwith copy of letter dated 12.12.2008 of Central Adoption
Resource Authority, I am directed to request you to kindly impress upon the Judicial
Officers presiding over the Family Courts or dealing with such matters working under
