CARA asks State adoption agencies to strengthen counselling process
The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) has issued comprehensive directions to all State Adoption Resource Agencies (SARAs) to strengthen and institutionalise structured counselling services throughout the adoption process — from pre-adoption, to during adoption, and post-adoption stages. These directions have been issued via a communication dated July 7 under the powers conferred by the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (as amended in 2021), and are aligned with the provisions laid down under the Adoption Regulations, 2022, an official statement said here on Thursday. CARA is a statutory body of the Ministry of Women and Child Development which acts as the nodal agency for the adoption of Indian children, both within the country and internationally. This latest initiative aims to reinforce the psychosocial support framework for all key stakeholders — prospective adoptive parents (PAPs), adopted children, and biological parents who surrender their child for adoption. Critical component CARA has emphasised that counselling is a critical component of the adoption process and is necessary to ensure emotional preparedness, smooth transition, and long-term well-being of both the children and the families involved. The memorandum reiterates the mandatory nature of structured and need-based counselling services, as prescribed under various provisions of the Adoption Regulations, 2022. The State adoption boards have been instructed to designate or empanel qualified counsellors at the district and State levels. These professionals should ideally have a background in child psychology, mental health, or social work. It has been made mandatory to provide pre-adoption counselling to prospective adoptive parents during the Home Study Report (HSR) process, in accordance with Regulation 10(7). Additionally, older children must receive counselling support both before and during the adoption process, the statement said. It said post-adoption counselling is to be provided in specific situations, such as when an adopted child initiates a root search to trace their origins, in cases of non-adjustment between the child and adoptive family, or in any situation indicating potential disruption or dissolution of the adoption. The directions also include provisions for psychosocial intervention in any other circumstances as assessed by the Specialised Adoption Agencies (SAAs) or District Child Protection Units (DCPUs).

Pune Porsche crash case: How drunk teen escaped trial as adult
The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on Tuesday dismissed the Pune Police's plea to try the 17-year-old accused in the deadly Porsche crash as an adult, ruling that the offence does not legally qualify as a "heinous crime". The ruling came after weeks of intense arguments by both the prosecution and the Pune police had approached the Board under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, arguing that the teen — son of a prominent real estate developer — was driving a luxury Porsche while being heavily drunk and killed two young IT professionals, Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa, in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area last police said the crime was 'heinous' and pointed to alleged attempts by the boy's family and doctors to swap his blood samples to weaken FLAGGED EVIDENCE TAMPERING Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hiray argued that the circumstances of the case went beyond just reckless driving. "In this case, the boy was allowed to drink and drive. After the crash, there was an attempt to manipulate the judicial process by swapping blood samples. The integrity of the system was shaken," Hiray told the prosecution claimed that after the fatal crash, the boy's blood samples were collected at Sassoon Hospital but the police suspected tampering. A second sample was collected at Aundh Government Hospital as a safeguard. However, the accused, including the boy's parents, allegedly tried to get that sample swapped too but the doctors refused to CITED TOP COURT RULINGDefence counsel Prashant Patil countered that the Supreme Court's Shilpa Mittal vs State judgment makes clear that only crimes with a minimum punishment of seven years can be labelled 'heinous'."We had cited a Supreme Court judgement - Shilpa Mittal Vs State in which the SC has defined what constitutes a heinous crime. The guidelines decided by the Supreme Court are binding on everyone. However, the plea by the prosecution is contrary to the apex court's judgement. We demanded that since the plea is contrary to the SC guidelines, it is not maintainable," Patil counsel also said that to define a certain crime as heinous, the prosecution must have a section (invoked in the case) in which the minimum punishment is seven years."In the present case, there is not a single section which has a minimum punishment of seven years. So, we argued that the prosecution's plea is not maintainable," he JUVENILE BOARD SAID?After hearing both sides for nearly two months, the Board sided with the defence and concluded that the criteria for trying the teen as an adult had not been met."In view of the ratio laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Shilpa Mittal's case, considering the age and nature of the alleged offences, it being serious offences, the child should not be subjected to preliminary assessment under Section 15 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. The provision of preliminary assessment is only for heinous offences," the board the settled position of law, these applications are moved. Under such circumstances, Preliminary Assessment is not done and the Board is left with no option but to reject the said applications," it FILMSY PUNISHMENTThe teen was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Court within hours of the fatal crash — on lenient terms that included writing a 300-word essay on road safety — triggering public outrage. He was later sent to an observation home, but the Bombay High Court ruled the remand illegal and ordered his release, insisting the juvenile law be fully a sessions court is still hearing arguments to frame charges against ten other accused, including the teen's parents. Currently, the boy's mother is currently out on bail while the other accused, incuding his father, remain in jail.- EndsMust Watch
