A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, AS Bopanna and JB Pardiwala made the suggestion while hearing a plea by NGO Temple of Healing seeking formulation of an adoption scheme by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
The Court noted that lakhs of children were waiting to be adopted even as couples are in queue for the same for many years.
“This is an important matter and it is a genuine plea. Lakhs and lakhs of children are waiting for adoption and people, couples cannot adopt for three to four years!“
