Calcutta HC orders CWC to return 3-year-old to couple despite adoption procedure not being followed
The Calcutta high court has directed a Child Welfare Committee to return a three-year-old child to the couple who had been caring for him since birth, holding that the committee had no legal basis to take custody of the child. The court in a judgment delivered on September 17, 2026, also directed the couple to approach the appropriate court to establish their legal status as the child’s adoptive parents.
