A. The relevant year is 1983 not 1985.
B. The statement was related to the orignal poster which stated he has ILR so his child born in the UK after ILR is British from birth.

if both my wife and I get ILR and baby born in India then can we apply british citizenship for Baby or an indian passport needs to be applied for baby first and then british citizenship once baby is back in UK.

If baby is born in UK, and you want it to be Indian citizen, you need to register the child birth with HCI and apply for passport. The baby born in UK to any of parent settled in UK is ENTITLED to be British citizenship.

Given India does not allow dual citizenship and the child is automatically British not sure how the child can get an Indian passport but I know the HCI site says one can do this ? Given no way to renounce British citizen as a child remains unclear?

HCI London - Passports - Passports for Children born in the UK wrote: 12. Beside, an affidavit from parents that the child has not acquired British Nationality is also required to be filed at the High Commission;
As BC is acquired automatically if born in the UK when at least one parent has ILR, not sure how you can fulfil the requirement above.
