Access

Access, approach, or the means of approaching. The presumption of a child's legitimacy is rebutted, if it be shown by strong, distinct, satisfactory, and conclusive evidence, see Atchley v. Sprigg, (1864) 33 LJ Ch 345, that the husband-whether before or after marriage-had not access to his wife within such a period of time before the birth, as admits of his having been the father.

Cope, (1833) 5 C&P 604. Neither husband nor wife is admissible as a witness to prove non-access, Goodright v. Moss, (1777) 2 Cowp p. 594. See also Poulett Peerage Case, 1903 AC 395, and Russell v.

Perhaps, the only suggestion that can be offered as unifying principle underlying the concept has been the assertion that a claimed right must be a fundamental right implicit in the concept of ordered liberty, Govind v. State of Madhya Pradesh, AIR 1975 SC 1378: (1975) 2 SCC 148: (1975) 3 SCR 946. [Constitution of India, Arts. 21, 19(1)(d)]...
