Supreme Court Attends To Women Foeticide, Refuses to Suppress Case
The Supreme Court acknowledged the widespread discrimination against ladies and girls in India, highlighting female foeticide as a stark instance of this social issue. Justices Misra and Bhuyan declined to disregard a situation versus a radiologist accused of going against the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Methods (PCPNDT) Act.
Key realities:
- The court emphasized Parliament’s efforts to ban sex determination.
- The PCPNDT Act intends to avoid the abuse of prenatal analysis techniques.
- The court questioned the legality of the raid treatment versus the radiologist, mentioning an absence of cumulative decision-making by the District Appropriate Authority.
