New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ordered Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct probe in the remaining 17 children shelter homes of Bihar. SC also said that the officers probing the Muzaffarpur Shelter Home Case should not be transferred without prior permission.
Expressing its dissatisfaction over the state government conduct, the apex court on Tuesday said, “It is very embarrassing and inhuman.”
SC: state police “soft” in their conduct
The bench of Justice Madan B Lokur, Justice S Abdul Nazir and Justice Deepak Gupta has blamed the state government of being partial of registering a complaint against those involved in such heinous crime.
The bench asked Bihar Government that whether these children are a citizen of this country or not? SC asked the Bihar Government advocate that why these cases were not registered under section 377 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The bench said, “The state government has not acted accordingly and we would like the CBI to investigate the entire matter.”
The apex court, however, has slammed the Bihar Government for acting softly in this case.
