Tiwari to undergo DNA test

NEW DELHI, DEC 23
In a setback to veteran Congress leader N D Tiwari in the three-year-old paternity battle, the Delhi High Court on Thursday directed him to undergo a DNA test on a suit filed by a young man claiming to be his biological son.
“The wider interest of a child of not being declared a bastard has to be kept in mind,” Justice S Ravindra Bhat said, while rejecting the contention of 85-year-old Tiwari that he cannot be forced to undergo DNA test.
“The court is of the opinion that there is imminent need to give blood sample (by Tiwari) to verify paternity of a young man claiming to be his son,” the Judge said.
