Jharkhand High Court Rejects Husband's Plea for DNA Test in Adultery Dispute
The Jharkhand High Court dismissed a husband's plea for a DNA test to challenge the paternity of his 24-year-old child amid allegations of his wife's adultery. The court upheld a trial court's rejection, noting the adult child cannot be compelled to undergo testing and no adverse inference should be drawn if the child refuses. The husband claimed he was absent during conception and cited a village panchayat's admission of adultery, but failed to substantiate non-access to his wife during that period.
