Supreme Court to hear PNDT Act new notifications

Govt. of India had issued two PNDT notifications dated 7th Feb 2012 and 4th June 2012. A “Forum for Radiologists/Sonologists” challenged the notification on 29th May 2012 in Delhi High Court. The  petition was dismissed there. The forum again filed review petition on 13th July 2012, which was again dismissed.

Subsequently the forum challenged both notifications Dated 7th Feb. 2012 and 4th June 2012 in Supreme Court. The Hon’ble Supreme Court issued notice to Govt. of India. On 29.01.13 the Govt. of India gave reply to the petition. Next date of hearing in Supreme Court is on 2nd Aug. 2013.

The forum is in process of submitting its counter-reply to the reply by Govt. of India. The forum has invited suggestions for the same.
