KOCHI: The Kerala High Court asked the CBI to clarify in ten days whether they are ready to take over the Walayar case. The court said the investigation could not be extended indefinitely. The single bench directed to take a decision immediately.

The state government announced a CBI probe in the hanging of the two girls at Walayar in Palakkad. However the CBI has not yet taken up the investigation. The high court’s direction is on the plea of the girls’ mother requesting court to monitor the CBI probe. The high court had recently quashed trial court’s action acquitting the accused in the case.
