New Delhi: Supreme Court will hear former Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari's petition challenging the paternity case filed against him.
The Delhi High Court decided to adjudicate a paternity suit filed by Rohit Shekhar, who claimed he was his biological son. Rohit Shekhar, had filed a paternity suit against Tiwari, claiming that he was the born out of an affair between Tiwari and his mother Ujjwala Sharma.
On Mar 17, the High Court rejected Tiwari's plea for quashing the paternity suit against him.
The division bench of the High Court, which earlier hinted that Tiwari might have to undergo DNA test to decide the issue, had set aside a single bench order which had dismissed the paternity suit filed by Shekhar on the ground that the suit was time barred and not maintainable.
