Shri Banarsi Dass vs Mrs. Teeku Dutta And Anr on 27 April, 2005

In my considered view, the judgment of the Apex Court in Banarsi Dass 's case squarely applies to the facts of the instant case. Merely because the second defendant denied the paternity of the first defendant, having regard to the nature of the proceedings filed and the other admitted facts emanating from the respective pleadings, there is no need for the Court in a routine manner to direct the first and second defendants to subject themselves to DNA Test oblivious of the fact that it tantamount to permitting the parties to lead evidence to rebut the conclusive proof enjoined under Section 112 of the Act which is not permissible in view of the mandate contained in Section 4 under the definition "conclusive proof. It is always open to the Court to draw an adverse inference from the conduct of the parties, as can be seen from the respective pleadings.
