Give blood sample for DNA test: HC asks Tiwari

The Delhi High Court Tuesday asked veteran Congress leader N D Tiwari to appear before it on June 1 and give his blood samples for DNA test to ascertain a 31-year-old man's claim that he is his biological son.

"Let all the persons concerned (Tiwari, Rohit Shekhar and his mother Ujjwala Sharma) appear in person on June 1 (in the court's dispensary) to give their blood samples for the requisite DNA test," Joint Registrar Deepak Garg said.

The court, which had earlier issued notice to the chief medical officer of the Delhi High Court dispensary, was Tuesday informed that a doctor has already been appointed to collect blood samples of three persons, including 85-year-old Tiwari.

The court clarified that the Congress leader and the mother-son duo will have to bear the cost of the DNA tests at the Centre for DNA, Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) at Hyderabad.
