Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court discussed the legal presumption of paternity in Indian law, which presumes a husband to be the father of a child born during the marriage unless evidence to the contrary is provided. The court emphasized that this presumption can be rebutted only by proof showing no access to the wife during the relevant conception period. The judgment clarified the evidentiary standards required to challenge the marital presumption of paternity.
