Volume : II, Issue : VII, August - 2012 Irrefutable presumption of legitimacy of child and the D.N.A. test: An analysis of Sec-112 of the Evidence Act 1872. Pragya Mishra Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : DNA testing is receiving recognition as a highly accurate means of scientific evidence.
One of the most apt applications of this technique happens to be resolving paternity
disputes; however the bar against disproving the Presumption of Legitimacy of a Child
as granted by the Indian Legislature through Section 112 of the Indian Evidence Act may
be disproved by limited means. Until the position of law changes, paternity being
disproved is a difficult issue with or without scientific aid. However, considering the
intent of the Legislature to prevent illegitimating a child, the question assumes several
complex dimensions. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Pragya Mishra, (2012).
