Child's Right To Know Father Must Be Balanced With Other Person's Right To Privacy; Can't Force DNA Test On Mere Adultery Allegations : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that a child's right to know their biological father must be balanced with the privacy rights of others. The case involved a dispute where allegations of adultery led to a request for a DNA test. The court ruled that such tests cannot be mandated simply on the basis of adultery allegations, as it infringes on the privacy rights of the parties involved. The judgment stresses that while a child has a right to know their biological parent, it must not come at the cost of others' personal rights. The ruling aims to protect privacy while ensuring the child’s welfare.
