3.This is an Indian Adoption Petition in respect of a female
minor, Saanvi Ganesh Anvekar. The adoptive parents, Ganesh
Balkrishna Anvekar and Shilpa Ganesh Anvekar filed a Petition No.

Petitioners took her in, the minor, born on 11th September 2014, is

4.Petitioner No. 1 is a self-employed jeweller. His wife, the 2nd
Petitioner is a nursing sister at the Goenka & Associates Medical &
Research Centre, Goregaon. They have placed an amount of
Rs.50,000/- with the Saraswat Co-operative Bank Limited in a fixed
deposit in the minor’s name.

¶17

5.Paragraph 6 of the Petition says that the minor’s birth parents
agreed to give her in adoption. On this basis the aforesaid order of
guardianship was passed. More than two years have passed since the
Guardianship Petition order before the filing of this Adoption
Petition.

¶18

6.Having regard to the fact that these are not cases that can be
delayed especially for young children, who require proper
certification and adoption orders, for schooling, maintenance and
other requirements, I am inclined to allow the Petition immediately.

¶19

7.I have also seen the scrutiny report presented by Mr O
Hareendran, Scrutiny Officer of the Indian Council of Social
Welfare. This report notes that he visited the residence of the
adoptive family at Indrayani Co-operative Housing Society, Nagari
Niwara Parishad, Goregaon very recently on 7th February 2018. He
observes that the adoptive parents are committed parents for Saanvi
for two and a half years and that she is well integrated in their family.
He also reports that the minor is an intelligent and lively child. She
goes to a pre-primary school very close to the residence.
