A 25-year-old woman from Mumbai filed a civil suit against BJP’s Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan, claiming he is her biological father. She seeks a DNA test, legal recognition, and an injunction against Kishan denying paternity. Legal action includes quashing an FIR and challenging its jurisdiction. The case unfolds amidst family disputes with allegations and counterclaims.
The Kerala High Court ruled that Registrars cannot delay issuing birth certificates based on unfounded suspicions or demand DNA testing without valid reasons. The court emphasized the Registrar’s duty to process applications promptly and fairly, ensuring individuals’ rights are safeguarded. The judgment reinforces the importance of adherence to established procedures and upholding legal certainty.
