Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court directed the effective implementation of The Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994, emphasizing the need to block websites promoting sex selection and to raise public awareness through mandated postings on search engines. The Court underscored the importance of the Act in combating female foeticide and maintaining a balanced sex ratio, holding that the government must take proactive measures to enforce the provisions of the Act. The Court's ruling reinforces the legislative intent to prohibit sex selection and regulate prenatal diagnostic techniques.
