R U L I N G

The Applicants are husband and wife. The child’s natural father who is now deceased was a brother to the proposed foster father. The child’s natural mother after the death of her husband married and is residing in Dubai. The child has for now about 7 years been staying with the Applicants. The proposed foster father is a contractor. I am satisfied that the applicants are proper and fit people to adopt the child and I therefore grant the application for adoption as prayed. Pareshkumar Nanji Jetha is hereby appointed guardian of the child until she attains the age of 18 years.
I direct that a copy of this order shall be served upon the Registrar General and the Registrar of Births for their necessary actions as provided in the Children’s Act.
DATED this 23rd day of February 2004.
