  • Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostics Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994
    COMPILATION AND ANALYSIS OF CASE LAW ON PRE-CONCEPTION AND PRE-NATAL DIAGNOSTICS TECHNIQUES That society should not want a girl child; that efforts should be made to prevent the birth of a girl child and (PROHIBITION OF SEX SELECTION) that society should give preference to a male child over a 1994 ACT, ON PCPNDT OF CASE LAWS AND ANALYSIS COMPILATION girl child is a matter of grave concern. Such tendency ACT, 1994 offends dignity of women. It undermines their importance...It violates Article 39(e) of the Constitution which states the principle of state policy that the health and strength of women is not to be abused. It ignores Article 51A(e) of the Constitution which states that it shall be the duty of every citizen of India to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women. Sex selection is therefore against the spirit of the Constitution. It insults and humiliates womanhood. This is perhaps the greatest argument in favour of total ban on sex selection. Hon’ble Smt. Ranjana Desai, J. (Vijay Sharma vs. Union of India AIR 2008 Bom. 29) This book is an outcome of UNFPA’s efforts for improving the implementation of the law to address the declining Child Sex Ratio: the Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act. Between 2009 and 2011, UNFPA in collaboration with the Bombay High Court, State Health Systems Resource Centre, Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority and Public Health Department-Government of Maharashtra, supported the organization of Judicial Colloquia for capacity building of Judicial Officers and Prosecutors on the causes and implications of the declining Child Sex Ratio and the PCPNDT Act for speedy redressal of cases and also integrated the issue as part of all training programmes conducted at the Maharashtra Judicial Academy.
