Borders Divide jurisdictions but families reunite them. The chain to this link is the global citizen. However, this inter-nation cross-flow has with the passage of time generated a new crop of legal issues in the realm of private international law which comprises rules a court would apply whenever there is a case involving a foreign element.

It is rather ironic that while the British Parliament is working its way through The Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill to legalize parentage from in-vitro fertilization births and recognize same sex couples as legal parents of children conceived through the use of donated eggs, sperms or embryos,India is yet to enact any concrete law that will help prevent International parental child abduction (removal or retention of a child across international borders by one parent).
International parental child abduction to India, either in contravention of court orders or without the consent of the other parent, is sadly an increasing phenomenon that causes acute emotional distress to the abducted child.

A fugitive foreign citizen/permanent resident kidnapper who is declared a proclaimed offender in matrimonial and custody proceedings in his/her country of citizenship/domicile (because of the wrongs he/she did to her ex-spouse and in-laws) kidnaps the foreign citizen children of the marriage and is provided safe haven in India (sometimes enabled by kidnapper's family’s political/bureaucratic/legal connections). The left behind NRI/PIO/OCI/foreign citizen parent cannot even see or talk to his/her children removed to India and is denied all access because the kidnapper is allowed to file false complaints with the Indian legal system using the easy to misuse laws.

The NRI/PIO/foreign citizen kidnapper is easily able to obtain injunctions from the Indian guardianship courts (despite the lack of jurisdiction) against the return of the kidnapped NRI/PIO/OCI/foreign citizen children to their place of habitual residence (because the Indian Courts ignore all current and even pre-existing custody orders from the foreign courts). These occurrences find daily mention but no straightforward solution for the NRI/PIO/OCI/foreign citizenunder any Indian law.

The Government of India is in the process of acceding to the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. However, before that is done, and India becomes a member of about 80 contracting convention nations, an appropriate Indian legislation will have to be enacted for its implementation. In this way children removed to and from India will be reunited with their aggrieved parent and India will no longer be a sought after destination for parking removed NRI/PIO/OCI/foreign citizen children from foreign jurisdictions. Also, foreign courts will be encouraged to permit NRI kids to freely visit India without fear of abduction. The draft of the Indian Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction Bill 2007 meant to secure the prompt return of children wrongfully retained or removed to India proposes to ensure that the rights of custody and access under laws of contracting states are respected by providing for prompt removal of wrongfully removed children.

The salient features of this proposed law are as follows:

Based on the experience from other countries that have ratified the Hague Convention, it is critical that all loopholes that will prevent the implementation of this be plugged. This (the exploitation of loopholes)is likely to be a serious problem in India and the political/bureaucratic/legal system will continue to provide a safe haven for the NRI/PIO/OCI/foreign citizen kidnapper, especially if the kidnapper is the mother. One example of a loophole is that abducting parent starts custody proceedings in India under the 30 year old laws before/in parallel with proceedings started by the left behind parent under the Hague Convention. Before India signs the Hague convention,appropriate laws will have to be enacted to prevent the exploitation of loopholes. In this way, children removed to and from India will be reunited with their aggrieved parent and India will no longer be a safe haven and sought after destination for parking removed NRI/PIO/OCI/foreign citizen children from foreign jurisdictions.

 A new twist to protect the rights of NRI fathers (and mothers) is the use of US State Department directive to black list all those individuals who aid and abet international child kidnapping cases.
In the case of Aditya Chandran, not only his mother, but his grand parents, all family members from his mother's side is black listed by the US Embassy so that none of them can get any visa to USA. Also, prominent directors and owners of hospitals and schools such as Apollo Hospitals, Delhi Public School officials will also be black listed by the US Embassy for helping international child kidnappers like Vijayasree Voora and they will not be allowed to enter USA.
All NRI fathers (and mothers) are urged to note down all those helping their spouses to keep their children illegally in India to make a list of such individuals and hand them over to US Embassy. Then site the US State Department directive that requires that all those who aid and abet such international kidnapping cases are deemed co conspirators and prevent them entering USA or applying for VISA to be denied for their lifetime.
Also, please contact your local police station and file for complaint that the child and the mother are overstaying their VISA.
We are confident these measures will help prevent future international kidnapping of children to India

 Absolutely support this. Also, request CJI to consider why the father was made both the natural and legal guardian in the 1956 act. Unless the father is unfit (physically or mentally), the sole physical custody should be given to the father with visitation rights to mother. Father has long been recognized (both in Indian legal history and culture) as the stabilizing figure in Indian family supporting the child's complete development after 3 years of age, until which time mother is critical but only if she is physically and emotionally fit.

 I am the father of Aditya, and I thank everyone who contributed here. On May 1st, Aditya was handed over to me by the CBI in Chennai, and on May 6th I exited India with Aditya to Dallas TX, USA. Aditya was very pleased and excited to go back to USA. My relationship with my beloved son was as if the lost 3 years shrunk to few seconds. Aditya is a resilient kid and he had already made friends in USA and all his neighbors are very happy to seem him. He is starting school on May 9th, and I plan to provide him the most stability that he sorely lacked in the past 3 years. I thank Supreme Court of India and CBI for great justice rendered to Aditya, and I hope all other fathers in my situation also succeed in seeing their children and bring them back to their home countries. God Bless.

 Who says that a mother can give more love & affection than a father. The law must see that if a women can put false & fabricated allegation on her husband only for greed of money, what vlues she will be able to give the innocent child.

 I more than support the petition.

The wheels of justice move inexoribly slowly - 6 precious years have been lost where my children have missed living a decent life where they could have benefited from the love and support of both parents.

 I am also facing similar problem but thanks to support from US & Canadian Embassies that my wife could not take child there. India should also be seen as a country where these kind of tactics are not allowed.

 I think mom is being very illogical and selfish. Aditya should be with both mom and dad.

 Its a child abuse when he/she is deprived of love and affection while warring couple is fighting bitter battle in court. Indian origin women living abroad have a started a new trend recently. When they loose court cases in USA or in other country, they flout the court order of the resident countries, abduct the kids, fly back to India and file several false cases against husband and his kin and kith. All these mess affect child growth and personality with no fault of his or her. This trend must be stopped and children must be given their due love and care. I support this campaign.

 This is sad. I hope the child can be reunited with the father. I do worry about the mother being forced in to a corner and doing something drastic. Please keep this mind in your messaging
