New Delhi, The Delhi High Court ruled today that veteran Congress leader N D Tiwari was indeed Rohit Shekhar’s father.<\/p>\n
Mr Shekhar (31) had moved the High Court to order a DNA test on the Congressman to test his paternity.<\/p>\n
However, the veteran Congressman and former Governor had steadfastly defied all attempts of the Court almost daring them to put him under a DNA test.<\/p>\n
Justice Gita Mittal, in her verdict holding Tiwari to be Shekhar’s father, conceded that the Congressman couldn’t be forced to undergo a DNA test.<\/p>\n
The order mentions that the Court has enough evidence to arrive at the conclusion.<\/p>\n
Mr Shekhar had produced more than 100 photographs of his mother Ujjawala and Tiwari to prove proximity between them. According to him, there was a physical relationship between them, which led to his birth.<\/p>\n
However, Tiwari had made light of the photographs saying that being a public representative he was always mingling with the people. Hence, the photographs don’t make a clinching evidence.<\/p>\n
Significantly though, the politician didn’t file an affidavit to either deny or affirm the authenticity of the photographs in spite of the judge categorically ordering him to do so.<\/p>\n
In the absence of Tiwari’s response, the Court took the photographs in favour of the petitioner as the biological son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
