SC raps claimant father of Russian girls living in cave

New Delhi, Oct 6 (UNI) The Supreme Court today came down heavily on a man claiming to be the father of two minor Russian girls who, along with their mother, were found living in a cave near Gokarna, Karnataka, earlier this year.
A bench, comprising Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, was hearing his plea challenging a Karnataka High Court's order that had allowed the union government to issue travel documents to facilitate the family’s repatriation to Russia.
As the matter was taken up, Justice Surya Kant asked the petitioner’s counsel, “What is your right? Who are you?” When the lawyer submitted that his client was the father of the children, the bench sought official proof.
