Won’t quash case against doc for telling foetus gender: Mumbai HC

The Bombay High Court has refused to quash and set aside the proceedings initiated under the provisions of Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act against a doctor for allegedly disclosing sex of a foetus to a pregnant woman.

‘I do not find any substance in the application for quashing the proceedings lodged against the applicant,’ said Judge M L Tahilyani recently while hearing the plea of 66-year-old Dr Dadarao Parwe, a resident of Sindkhed Raja in Buldhana district. The doctor had been prosecuted by the appropriate authority for offences punishable under Sections 23 and 25 for having allegedly committed breaches of various provisions of the Act and Rules.
