RIAS v DMK (Adoption Cause 4 of 2020) [2026] KEHC 12907 (KLR) (5 August 2026) (Ruling)
The application failed because section 190 of the Children Act does not permit revocation of an adoption order on the basis advanced by the applicant. The alleged post-adoption psychiatric condition of the respondent, without proof of fraud, procedural irregularity, mistake, or any statutory ground for review, was insufficient to undo a valid adoption. Revocation would be more prejudicial to the child than beneficial, so the court preserved the adoption arrangement subject to monitoring, treatment, and supervised access.
