The baby was lying unclaimed at the SCB medical college and hospital here ever since she was born on March 30 this year. Claiming that she had delivered a baby boy, the girl's mother Rashmita Mallick of Cuttack (rural) had left the hospital without the girl. She had also alleged that her baby was swapped with the baby of another woman who had same surname.
"But now the family members have agreed to accept the baby girl 'Atmaja' after Odisha High Court decided that Rashmita Mallick, wife of petitioner Sukanta Mallick is actually the mother of the girl on the basis of a DNA report," said Sukanta
