NEW DELHI: Surrogate Japanese baby Manji Yamada will continue to be under the care of her grandmother till the Supreme Court sorts out the legal complications that have cropped up in her 20-day-long life, preventing her from heading home. ( Watch )

Thursday being a holiday, a bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and S H Kapadia hurriedly assembled at the former's residence, gave an urgent hearing to Manji who had filed the petition through her grandmother Emiko Yamada, and stayed a Rajasthan HC order asking the police to produce the 20-day-old baby in the court on the basis of a PIL filed by an NGO.

Manji, if she had the ability to comprehend, would have been much wiser by the turn of events in her short experience. The Ahmedabad serial bomb blasts scared her grandmother to seek the safety of a Jaipur hospital.

Even as Emiko was making efforts to arrange for documents for Manji came the NGO's petition seeking to prohibit a baby born in India through surrogacy to be taken out.
