Legal Question in Family Law in India

I am in custody of a child of an abandoned child of about 7 years of age presently. I and my husband have been appointed as Guardians of this girl child in the year 2003, under GAWA 1890, since we have a biological girl child of the same sex we were unable to adopt this girl child under HAMA. Now, the school in which both my children are studying charges more fee for the second child, for whom me and my husband are Legal guardians, thus creating disparity among my children, Please advise the legal action we could initiate. My husband is a Govt employee and his office also refuses to endorse this child's name as a dependent in office records. We are put to a lot of discomfort and stress
