CHAPTER
IX: MISCELLANEOUS
Violation
of Guidelines
9.1 If
it comes to the notice of any State Government or any of India's
Diplomatic Missions abroad or CARA that a recognized Indian
agency or enlisted foreign agency is not observing all or
any of the provisions of these guidelines or is otherwise
functioning in a manner which is not in the interests of children
generally, it shall inform CARA immediately with details and
CARA may, at its discretion suspend or withdraw recognition
of such enlisted agency and/or take any other such action
as may be deemed necessary.
9.2 It
would be desirable for the Government of India to enter into
bilateral agreement with countries which are receiving children
from India for the purpose of adoption and such bilateral
agreements should provide for full coordination between the
appropriate authorities of India and the receiving State and
also for protection and safeguarding of the welfare of the
children taken for adoption in the receiving State.
9.3 Apprehensions
have been expressed that unscrupulous elements arrange illegal
transfer of babies to adoptive parents at the time of their
birth in some hospitals, nursing homes, and maternity homes
in the country. Such transfer of babies taking place without
observing the appropriate norms and procedure is illegal and
thus it is not at all in the interest of the child. If any
such complaints are brought to the notice of CARA, it shall
cause an enquiry to be done and take up the matter with the
appropriate authorities of the Central or State Government
including the Medical Council of India.
Amendments
to Guidelines
9.4 The
Ministry of Welfare, Government of India, reserves to itself
the power, at its discretion to make such amendments, additions,
deletions or alterations in these guidelines as are deemed
necessary from time to time.
