Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition challenging the use of Quinacrine for female sterilization, invoking Sections 10-A and 26-A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1945. The Court noted that the Central Government is already taking steps to prohibit the import, manufacture, sale, and distribution of Quinacrine for this purpose. Consequently, the Court deemed no further orders necessary and disposed of the writ petition.
