Alleging foul play, the NGO feared it could be a case of child smuggling.
"Before the birth of the child both the mother and father, who gave the ovum and sperm,
should have been DNA tested and a DNA fingerprint of the child should have been made,
which in this case does not seem to have been done," said Abhinav Sharma, counsel for Satya.
"The case needs to be probed because if it becomes a practice then
nobody would come forward to adopt a child in India and rich people from abroad
will continue coming to the country and indulge in surrogacy.
It is misuse of law," said Sanjay Agarwal, the petitioner.
Even as India is fast emerging as a major destination for surrogate pregnancies,
such births are largely unregulated.
The surrogacy bill is pending in the Parliament.
But, according to existing laws, parents have to adopt their surrogate child and
adoption laws make it difficult for single fathers to adopt girls.
Now, the child's fate lies in balance as her grandmother's visa will also expire soon and
she will be left in the care of the hospital staff.
