    The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) rejected the wife's writ petition challenging a 2018 order directing DNA testing in a divorce case on grounds of delay and laches—the petition was filed 7 years after the original order despite the wife having initially agreed to comply. While acknowledging privacy concerns under Article 21, the court held that refusal to entertain the petition would not result in manifest injustice, and noted that DNA evidence alone cannot rebut the legal presumption of child legitimacy under Section 112 of the Evidence Act without proof of non-access.
