Court official seeks details ahead of DNA test on Tiwari
April 4th, 2011 - 9:57 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, April 4 (IANS) The Delhi High Court’s joint registrar Monday asked Hyderabad-based Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) to explain the procedure for conducting DNA test on veteran Congress leader N.D. Tiwari in connection with a paternity suit.
Joint Registrar Deepak Garg has sought a response from the CDFD by April 20.
“The response of the laboratory was required as to how it will go for the test and how much time it will take in ascertaining the outcome,” said the registrar.
On March 14, Justice Gita Mittal ordered: “The CDFD will conduct the DNA test on Tiwari.”
The joint registrar would record evidence for enabling Justice Mittal to decide the suit filed by Rohit Shekhar, 31, who claims to be Tiwari’s biological son.
Shekhar claimed he was born out of the leader’s alleged relationship with his mother Ujjwala Sharma.
Tiwari, 85, who held the posts of chief minister of undivided Uttar Pradesh and later Uttarakhand, opposed the paternity suit.
A single judge bench of the high court Dec 23, 2010, asked Tiwari to undergo a DNA test.
The apex court denied relief to Tiwari and also asked him to undergo the test.
The former Andhra Pradesh governor said he never had any physical relationship with Ujjwala, who is a Congress activist. Shekhar, he said, was not entitled to seek a DNA test as a matter of right.
