HC: Use police to get Tiwari blood sample

Joint Registrar (JR) shall be entitled to avail police assistance in case the defendant number one (Tiwari) is not available within the jurisdiction of this court.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued an order allowing use of police force to bring defiant veteran Congress leader N D Tiwari to the court for taking his blood sample for the DNA test to decide the paternity suit of a man claiming to be his son.

Joint Registrar (JR) shall be entitled to avail police assistance in case the defendant number one (Tiwari) is not available within the jurisdiction of this court. The JR shall seek the police assistance for bringing him in this court for the purpose of taking the blood sample for the DNA test, said Justice Reva Khetrapal.

The court fixed the matter for further hearing on May 21 before the Joint Registrar,who will fix the date for collection of the blood sample from Tiwari.

The court said considering Tiwaris age,the order of taking the blood sample is required to be implemented as expeditiously as possible otherwise an irreparable loss is bound to visit the plaintiff. The directions came on the plea of Rohit Shekhar,33,who has sought a judicial declaration that Tiwari is his biological father.
