Orissa HC upholds lower court order asking husband to appear for potency test

CUTTACK: The Orissa High Court dismissed for lack of merit a petition filed by a husband seeking intervention against the lower court’s order directing him to appear before a medical board for his potency test.

The Family Court (Khurda) had issued the direction as part of the proceedings for divorce in a petition filed by the man’s wife on the ground of his alleged impotency.

In his petition, the husband contended that there was no need to undergo any further potency test as a doctor at AIIMS-Bhubaneswar had certified him normal after examination.
