New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the transfer of the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case from Bihar to a court in New Delhi and slammed the state government for its management of shelter homes.<\/p>\n
A bench, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said the cases should be transferred from the Bihar CBI court to a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Saket trial court within two weeks.<\/p>\n
It ordered the Saket trial court to conclude the trial within six months.<\/p>\n
The apex court also rapped the CBI for transferring its officer probing the sexual assault case and said it amounted to a violation of its order.A bench asked the investigating agency to file an affidavit giving an explanation.<\/p>\n
“Enough is enough. Children cannot be treated like this. You cannot let your officers \u00a0treat children this way. Spare the children,” the top court told the Bihar government.<\/p>\n
It said the court will summon the chief secretary if the state fails to give all information.<\/p>\n
