Sometimes, to give peace to the living, the dead would have to be disturbed, says Madras High Court
The Madras High Court has directed that a buried body be exhumed for DNA testing after a grieving couple requested identification. Justice V. Lakshminarayanan confirmed the remains belong to the couple’s son, who had died years earlier, following a formal petition filed by the parents. The court’s order aims to provide closure by verifying the identity of the deceased.
