Hii
If already there is an order for DNA Test, if you fail to comply with the order then adverse inference would be drawn from your act and the court may proceed with the case.
If you are aggrieved with the order passed directing you to go for DNA Test you can very well challenge it before the Hon'ble Sessions Court in an Appeal .

Dear Sir, First of all Marriage is disputed and it is proved that there is no marital relationship between you and the Applicant (Mother) and also it was proved that there was no live in relationship between you. it seems the Mother might have filed an application for DNA Test in the 125 CRPC Proceedings. if the court has passed the order on that application and directed you to go for DNA Test either you can obey the directions of Court or you can challenge the said order. If the you do not challenge the order you have to undergo for DNA Test to prove the paternity. And it is not clearly mentioned in your query whether she has filed an application seeking directions for DNA Test from Court. it is better to challenge the order passed by the said Court.
