The Delhi High Court today refused to stay its earlier order asking veteran Congress leader N.D. Tiwari to undergo a DNA test on a paternity suit filed by a youth claiming to be his biological son.
A division bench of justices Vikramajit Sen and Siddharth Mridul refused to give any relief to the leader while reserving its order on an appeal by him against the high court’s earlier order by a single—judge bench.
Mr. Tiwari had challenged the high court’s single—bench order of December 23 asking the leader to undergo DNA test.
The court, however, granted no stay on the proceedings by the joint registrar tomorrow, for fixing a date for collection of Mr. Tiwari’s blood samples for DNA test.
31—year—old youth Rohit Shekhar, who claims to be Mr. Tiwari’s biological son born out of the leader’s relationship with his mother Ujjwala Sharma, had moved the court seeking DNA test of Mr. Tiwari.
