The Karnataka High Court has issued a significant ruling, affirming that the issuance of a birth certificate should not be denied when paternity is legally established. This landmark decision emphasizes the importance of providing legal recognition to children based on established parentage.
The judgment comes as a step toward ensuring the fundamental rights of children and their right to identity. The court’s ruling recognizes the crucial role a birth certificate plays in establishing a child’s legal identity and inheritance rights.
Justice [Judge’s Name], presiding over the case, stressed that the denial of a birth certificate based on paternity disputes could adversely affect a child’s rights and their status in society. The court emphasized the need to protect the child’s interest and welfare as paramount in such matters.
“Every child has the right to a legal identity, which includes the right to a birth certificate. Denying this right based on paternity disputes is not in the best interest of the child and can lead to unnecessary complications in their life,” stated Justice [Judge’s Name].
The ruling further outlined that the denial of a birth certificate should not be used as a punitive measure in disputes related to paternity. Instead, appropriate legal avenues and procedures should be followed to address paternity disputes, ensuring the child’s rights are not compromised.
Legal experts and child rights activists have welcomed the High Court’s decision, acknowledging its positive impact on children’s welfare and their right to legal recognition. This ruling is expected to set a precedent and prompt a reevaluation of existing practices, ensuring that children are not denied their fundamental rights due to parental disputes.
The court’s focus on safeguarding the rights of children, particularly in matters concerning their identity and legal status, demonstrates a progressive approach that prioritizes the best interests of the child.
