The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday concluded hearing of the case for custody of the two children, Abhigyan and Aishwarya sent back to India from Norway in the foster care of their uncle, with the order to be delivered tomorrow.
Justice Dipankar Dutta heard the case in-camera filed by mother Sagarika Bhattacharya and also spoke to the children for quite some time. Justice Dutta said the order would be delivered tomorrow, but allowed the mother to take away the children after the hearing.
Earlier, the police informed the court that they could not trace the children who were handed over to the mother by the Burdwan district administration yesterday.
The court had yesterday directed that the children be handed back to their uncle Arunabhash Bhattacharya from whom they were taken. The police said that they were unable to find the children as the mother's house was locked. After a direction to the mother's counsel, the mother and her two children appeared in court.
The case was heard in the presence of family members and their lawyers, while the rest were asked to leave.
