CBI ready to probe 'child trafficking'; Amicus curiae appointed

KOCHI: The CBI informed Kerala high court on Wednesday that it was ready to probe the incident in which children from other states were allegedly trafficked into Kerala. The CBI explained that since the parties in the case included people from other states, Kerala police would have certain limitations in investigating the case and hence it decided to take up the case.
   
When the CBI expressed its desire to probe the case, the court asked the Advocate General (AG) representing the government, if the government was averse to CBI probing the case.  The AG replied in the negative.

The State government submitted the progress report of the probe it was conducting to the court in a cover with government seal on it.  

The bench chaired by Chief Justice Manjula Chellur said a final decision on CBI inquiry will be taken after examining the report.   

To make an initial investigation, Advocate Devan Ramachandran was appointed as amicus curiae.
