e Delhi High Court today said the DNA test confirms that Congress leader ND Tiwari is the biological father of a Delhi-based youth, Rohit Shekhar. Declaring the result of the DNA test in the open court today, Justice Reva Khetrapal said as per the report, Tiwari was the biological father of Rohit Shekhar and Ujjwala Sharma was the biological mother. The test was conducted at a Hyderabad-based laboratory.

the single-judge bench has adopted a shortcut to decide the suit and it would cause grave injustice to him. Citing the Supreme Court's May 24 order, Tiwari said that the single judge failed to appreciate that in a civil dispute, where the undisputed position of the parties is that no criminality is involved, the appellant's right to reputation has to be protected. He further said that Rohit Shekhar, the petitioner in paternity suit and his mother are leaving no stone unturned
to get the report unsealed and make it public to attract undue media attraction without completion of the trial. A former Andhra Pradesh Governor, Tiwari earlier had filed an application before the single judge for keeping the DNA report confidential and holding in-camera proceedings in the case. He said that the Supreme Court had given such a direction on May 24.
