Trafficking case: Order on reuniting children with caregivers recalled

The ordeal of children illegally adopted from a maternity home in Mysuru by childless couples is far from over.

Four months after a city court gave interim custody of three children to couples who had adopted them illegally by paying money, the order has been recalled. This follows an appeal filed by the Mysuru district Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

The Principal Senior Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court in Mysuru has directed the caregivers to hand over custody of the children to the CWC. Two of the children are girls, aged six and seven, while one is a boy aged less than three.

Notice to caregivers

Based on the court order dated August 4, CWC has issued notices to the caregivers to immediately hand over custody of the children. While the six-year-old girl is with her caregivers in Thrissur in Kerala, the boy is with his caregivers in Dakshina Kannada. The seven-year-old girl is in Mysuru.
