Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the case of Saba and Farha, craniopagus twins, emphasizing the need for surgical separation due to their critical health condition. The Court highlighted the complexities involved in such procedures, including the risks of death and the necessity of multiple surgeries. Ultimately, the Court directed the Bihar Chief Secretary to arrange for their medical examination and treatment at AIIMS, New Delhi, while also considering the family's wishes for financial assistance rather than surgical intervention.
