By prioritizing the presumption of legitimacy under Section 112 of the Indian Evidence Act over scientific evidence, the judgment forces innocent men into unwanted fatherhood, encourages marital fraud, and deprives them of a fundamental legal defense. This decision contradicts previous court rulings that have allowed DNA tests when paternity is contested, making urgent legal reforms necessary to prevent wrongful paternity claims and ensure justice for men in India.
