Abstract The 21st Century has brought about new advancements in science and technology, especially in DNA Technology. These advancements have found their way into paternity disputes in the form of DNA tests for determining paternity. However, while the science might be precise in its objective, the law regarding the validity and utility of DNA testing is not. DNA tests are not new and are more widely used due to their accuracy and ease of availability. But, the stance of Indian courts on its use and the excessive use of Sec. 112 of the Indian Evidence Act has proved to be insufficient in addressing the issue as DNA tests continue to gain momentum. The Indian legal system must cope with the influx of scientific and technological advancements to prevent the misuse of DNA tests.
