Court orders NCPCR to probe trafficking in children

The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered an inquiry by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) into trafficking of children from Manipur and Assam to Tamil Nadu on the pretext of providing them better education.

“We would like to have an inquiry into the matter,” a Bench comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justices Deepak Verma and B.S. Chauhan said, while asking the Commission to place its report within four weeks and posted the matter for hearing in May.

The Bench said, “There was need for some investigation” as children belonging to the poor families from north-eastern regions were lured by some illegal organisations on the pretext of providing better education.

The apex court was hearing the issue of recovery of 76 children from Assam and Manipur, who were lodged in an unregistered children's home in Kanyakumari district.

Names sought

It asked the Tamil Nadu government to furnish names of the children who were rescued in January from Kanyakumari district as also that of their parents.

The State government, which filed an affidavit on the issue, said the probe by the Kanyakumari Superintendent of Police had established that the 76 children from Manipur and Assam were brought to Tamil Nadu by one Rev. Paul from the north-eastern region on the promise of providing them better education.
