Anita W/o Eknath Hatkar vs Additional Commissioner Nashik and Ors

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

Anita Hatkar appealed against her disqualification from election proceedings on the ground of having three children, with the third born after a prescribed cut-off date. She contended the third child was not her biological son. The Supreme Court directed DNA testing. The Forensic Science Laboratory's report confirmed Anita and her husband were the biological parents. Finding no merit in the appeal based on this evidence, the Court dismissed it.
