You will need permission from the court and your ex has to be given due notice. He will be entitled to object to child's being taken away from jurisdiction of the court. You may take the child away only if he may have no objection.

Re: obtain a passport for my child

in this situation, it is not possible for you to take the child to australia without the consent of his natural father. despite the fact you are divorced, still the father has the rights on the child and he may obtain a stay from the court concerned in case you try to take the child out of india.
