Court News from Madras High Court

I fervently hope that during the expulsion necessary sample had been taken from the fetus and it had been sent for DNA examination and would be used during the course of criminal trial.  Nothing further survives for adjudication. I must place my deepest appreciation to Ms.S.Sridevi, learned counsel for the petitioner and also to Mr.T.Seenivasan, learned Special Government Pleader for their assistance in this regard. The Writ Petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs. Cvkj
