Delhi: HC seeks report from govt on formulating SOPs for DNA testing The court's order was passed while dealing with a petition filed in March 2020 by a man who asked authorities to expeditiously conclude the process of DNA matching to find out if one of the recovered bodies was that of his brother's. The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the city government to file a status report on the issue of formulation of a standard operating procedure for DNA testing to carry out the identification of bodies. The court's order was passed while dealing with a petition filed in March 2020 by a man who sought directions from the authorities to expeditiously conclude the process of DNA matching to find out if one of the recovered bodies was that of his brother who went missing amidst the violence in North-East Delhi. The counsel for petitioner said that after a direction was passed for urgent DNA testing in the present case, it was found that the body in question was that of the petitioner's brother.
