Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to not quash the FIR and complaint against the appellant under Section 23 of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994. The Court ruled that the raid conducted by the Appropriate Authority was valid despite the appellant's claim of illegality due to lack of signatures from all members, emphasizing the importance of the authority's role in enforcing the Act. The Court affirmed that the evidence collected during the raid was admissible, thereby rejecting the appellant's petition.
