Team leaves for Andhra Pradesh to bring baby back
The Women and Child Development Department has sought 10 more days to complete the proceedings in the case related to the adoption of the baby of Anupama S. Chandran.
As the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram, considered the case on Saturday, Assistant Public Prosecutor P.P. Hakkim submitted that the inquiry report, as directed by the court, was in its final stages. Some more time would be needed to complete the report. The lawyer submitted that the arrangements for the DNA test had been completed.
Earlier, Family Court Judge K. Biju Menon had sought a report from the State government on whether the Kerala State Council for Child Welfare (KSCCW) had valid licence to function as a specialised adoption agency. It had also asked whether the council followed the mandatory legal procedures while dealing with the baby of the young mother, who complained that her child was given in adoption against her will. The court posted the case for November 30. The lawyer representing the council produced a photostat copy of the licence issued to the agency.
