HC Background4

C.A. No. 1308/2023

APARNA AJINKYA FIRODIA VS AJINKYA ARUN FIRODIA

The Supreme Court held that in this case it is not in the best interest of the child to allow the DNA test because the ultimate object for demanding DNA test is not for determining parentage of the child but for proving allegations of adultery (extramarital relations) during the marriage, which can be proved by adducing any other evidence. The Court also held that children have the right not to have their legitimacy questioned frivolously before a court of law. This is an essential attribute of their right to privacy. The judgment of the Court was authored by Justice B.V. Nagarathna and signed by Justice V. Ramasubramanian. Justice V. Ramasubramanian also wrote a separate concurring opinion.
