In matrimonial and paternity disputes, the court is empowered to order a DNA test, but it is not an automatic right at the very first hearing. You may certainly file an application seeking a DNA test if you genuinely dispute the paternity of the child, but the court will allow such a request only when you establish prima facie grounds and demonstrate that the test is essential for adjudicating the issue. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that a DNA test cannot be directed in a routine manner, as it involves serious implications on the legitimacy and privacy of the child. However, when paternity is specifically challenged and no other conclusive evidence is available, courts do permit DNA testing to arrive at the truth. Therefore, you can request the court for a DNA test, but whether it will be granted depends on the facts of your case, the pleadings, and judicial satisfaction that such a test is necessary to decide the matter.
