Baby kidnap case: Kerala HC postpones case to November 8 to await Anupama decision

Deccan Chronicle  

Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Wednesday postponed to November 8 the habeas corpus plea moved by Anupama S Chandran, daughter of a CPI local committee member, to get back her baby who had been put up for adoption by her parents last year without her knowledge. The high court had also said that a family court was seized of the matter and the baby was presently with a couple -- the adoptive parents -- in Andhra Pradesh. However, Peroorkkada police here later said a case was registered against six people, including her parents, sister and husband, and father's two friends, and said the delay happened as they were awaiting legal opinion. Earlier last week, a family court stayed the adoption process of her child and directed the police to submit a detailed report in a sealed cover.
