    In the matter both the parties have made the oral submission on the previous date so also they have filed written submissions on record.
        On going through the case record carefully it appears that none of the petitioner has entered into the witness box nor they have filed their evidence affidavit on record. So also the original documents are not placed on record for perusal of the Court. So also the antecedents of the petitioners are not placed on record by the CWC.
            Hence, in view of the matter the petitioners are directed to file the evidence affidavit in support of their claim for adoption in respect of the child if they desire. CWC is also directed to place on record the antecedents of the petitioner if any.
           Both the parties are directed to co-operate to the court for the expeditious disposal of this petition on merits, as directed by the Hon\''ble High Court. Case is adjd. for evidence and production of documents if any on 22/07/2020.
