Dear Client,

Proper answer can be given as the question itself is very confusing. Further, Legal advice is largely based upon the past history and related documentations regarding court proceedings.

It would be advisable to approach any of the empaneled Advocate of Lawrato along with necessary documentation to get correct advice.

Provided that in case it is found that such abandonment of the child by the biological parents is due to circumstances beyond their control, it shall be presumed that such abandonment is not wilful and the penal provisions of this section shall not apply in such cases:
