High Court extends freeze on implementation of controversial police investigations unit law
Justice minister rails at judges for 'trying to defend the failed' DIPI, as group that filed petition says order important in 'protecting the independence of the law-enforcement system' The post High Court extends freeze on implementation of controversial police investigations unit law appeared first on The Times of Israel .
A Gujarat couple in their 50s, who lost their 25-year-old doctor son to suicide four years ago, has won a High Court battle to undergo IVF treatment. Despite the mother's age exceeding the statutory limit for assisted reproduction, the court ruled that the couple's eligibility should be considered collectively as a commissioning couple.
The Gujarat High Court's 17-page judgment, dated September 2, set aside the rejection of their IVF request, upholding their right to seek assisted reproductive technology services. Justice Nirzar S Desai noted that the woman had reached menopause and was unable to conceive naturally, prompting the couple to turn to IVF. The court also considered a series of High Court precedents, including a Calcutta High Court ruling, which held that an age-related ineligibility of one spouse need not affect the other when both constitute a commissioning couple.
The court upheld the couple's petition, allowing them to access IVF treatment, though their medical suitability remains at the discretion of a clinic and treating doctors.
