Mahmudul Hasan Akbar [email protected]. ... vs Mahmuda Begum (Dead) on 25 January, 2022
10. On the contrary Learned Counsel for the defendants/petitioners
argued that after the death of aforesaid Mahmuda Begum and Asgar Ali,
present plaintiffs filed revised plaint and manufactured new story, as new
cause of action through alleged Kabil-nama and marriage invitation card.
Normal blood relation cannot be established upon assumption and
presumption to decide and/or to ascertain the blood relation if any between
plaintiffs and defendants. Since technology has developed and modern tools are
available, in ascertaining blood relation about the direct maternal and paternal
line, so the close matches with individuals can only give indication about
common ancestors. The defendants/appellants denied all other material
allegations including the allegation that Asgar Ali had gone to East Pakistan to
embrace Shia Sect or that Akbar Ali was a Sunni Muslim. According to the
defendants, the DNA test will set at rest the dispute between plaintiff and
defendants, that had arisen in the partition suit and truth can be easily
unveiled through comparison of the Genetic Code of the parties through DNA
test to establish relationship in between plaintiffs and defendants. Learned
Trial Court committed error in rejecting the prayer of an order of DNA test on
the pretext that such prayer has been made by the petitioners to shift the
burden of proof of blood relation upon the shoulder of the medical test.
Learned Counsel for defendants/appellants in support of their contention
relied upon a judgment of Delhi High Court reported in AIR 2012 Delhi 162
and an unreported judgment of Punjab and Haryana High Court passed in CR
No. 1333 of 2013 (Sube Singh vs. Smt. Shanti Devi and others).
