The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that children born from invalid marriages must not be denied birth registration. Justice Jyotsna Rewal Dua emphasized that these children have rights regardless of their parents’ marital status, reinforcing their legal identity and protection under the law. The court ordered authorities to update relevant records accordingly.
The Himachal Pradesh High Court issued a notice to Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu in response to civil defamation suits filed by Davinder Kumar and independent MLA Hoshyar Singh, seeking damages of Rs 1.05 crore over alleged derogatory remarks.
