If you do not appear for the court during the proceedings and remain absent without any valid reasons or not being represented by your lawyer also then the court may issue a non bailable warrant also against you for willful absence without any valid reason.
If you are not willing for DNA test, the court cannot force you to undergo the same,
The court may decide against your wishes and would be compelled to declare that the child belongs to you since you have not cooperated for establishing the paternity of the child.
1) without ascertaining the relation between applicant and me. Ordering for DNA test is not a wrong part on court,
The DNA test if not to establish your relationship with the woman, but to prove the paternity of the child, hence there is no legal infirmity in it, it is very well within the provisions of law.
2) Can I avoid DNA test if I agree to pay maintenance to child. If so how to request court to call back the DNA test order,
You can refuse to undergo the DNA paternity test, the court would decide against you and grant the maintenance sought for the child.
1) Can court insist to pay maintenance to applicant if I agree to pay maintenance to child?
The appellate court's order is very clear that the the relationship between the applicant and the respondent has not been proved hence she is not entitled for maintenance.
