Baby Manji case: SC extends child`s custody to grandmother

• The Jaipur-based NGO has been asked to explain its stand or its interest in seeking the custody of the newly born child. 
  
• The court also asked the police not to interfere in the matter and added that it can’t forcibly take the baby away.
  
• Earlier, SATYA had filed a habeas corpus petition in the Jaipur High Court, claiming that in the absence of a surrogacy law in the country the legitimacy of the baby cannot be claimed by anyone. 
  
• The Surrogacy Bill is pending in Parliament, but according to governing laws, parents have to adopt their surrogate child and adoption laws make it difficult for single fathers to adopt girls.
