Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In ABC v State (NCT of Delhi), paragraph 19 directed that a single parent or unwed mother applying for a birth certificate for her child may be asked to provide an affidavit, after which the certificate must issue unless a court directs otherwise. The direction was not confined to the litigant. Githa Hariharan concerned guardianship interpretation; the other cases do not establish this birth-certificate direction.
