New Delhi, May 10: The Supreme Court today refused to
entertain the petition of former Andhra Pradesh Governor
N D Tiwari against Delhi High Court deciding to hear the
plea of Rohit Shekhar, who claims to be his biological son.

divison bench deciding to hear the paternity suit of Rohit
Shekhar on merit.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and
Justices Deepak Verma and B S Chouhan disposed of the peitition
of Mr Tiwari and directed him to put his defence before
the High Court.

alleging that it was a conspiracy to grab his property.
