Biological Father of Child
A Srinagar victim girl has changed her counsel in the hope of obtaining speedy justice and proving that an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer is the biological father of her female baby. According to the victim, she was married to the IAS officer and gave birth to a daughter during their wedlock. Later, she and her child were abandoned.
After hearing the counsel for the victim, Advocate Mir Naveed Gul, the Court of Second Additional Munsiff in Srinagar issued fresh directions to defendant Sundhanshu Pandey to appear in person for the recording of the statement. The court has directed Pandey to appear in person and file a written response indicating whether he consents to a DNA test to determine whether the girl born to the victim is his biological child or not.
Advocate Mir informed the media that the court has issued these directions afresh. Sundhanshu Pandey has served at various posts in J&K, including Divisional Commissioner Jammu. The victim approached Advocate Mir because she believed that the proceedings were being delayed and she wants a speedy delivery of justice.
