The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that a husband cannot demand DNA tests of his children to prove his wife’s alleged adultery. The Court stressed that children cannot be used as tools in marital disputes and their rights must be protected.
The Supreme Court of India quashed a criminal case under Section 307 IPC against a husband after he gave a written undertaking to care for his wife and child. Exercising powers under Article 142, the Court held that family welfare and responsible settlement can sometimes serve justice better than continuing criminal trials.
