Contempt of court notice

The Delhi High Court Tuesday issued a contempt notice to veteran Congress leader N.D. Tiwari for defying its order directing him to give his blood sample in a paternity suit filed by 32-year-old man claiming to be his son.
Justice Geeta Mittal, referring to her Sep 23 judgment in which she had termed Tiwari's refusal to submit the blood sample 'wilful, malicious, unreasonable and unjustified', issued the notice, returnable for Feb 14.
Meanwhile, the court has directed the claimant Rohit Shekhar, his mother Ujjwala Sharma and her former husband B.P. Sharma to appear before the joint registrar Oct 20 to give their blood samples for a DNA test.
