In which of the following cases the Supreme Court directed the Government to implement the law against female foeticide ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In Centre for Enquiry into Health and Allied Themes (CEHAT) v. Union of India (2001 and 2003), a public interest petition, the Supreme Court directed the Central and State Governments to implement the Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 effectively to stop sex selection and female foeticide; Parliament amended the Act in 2003 and renamed it the PCPNDT Act. Madhu Kishwar v. State of Bihar concerned the succession rights of tribal women, and Balveer Kaur v. Dhirdas does not deal with female foeticide.
