Centre For Enquiry Into Health And ... vs Union Of India & Others on 10 September, 2003
In view of the possibility of use of pre-natal diagnostic
techniques for determination of sex and then for termination of pregnancy of
unborn child, the provisions of P.C. and P.N.D.T. Act are made, which
should be observed and followed in letter and spirit while dealing with the
matters like the one in hand. As per the provisions of the said Act and Rules
coupled with directions for its implementation issued by Hon'ble Apex Court
in the case of Centre for Enquiry into Health and Allied Themes (CEHAT)
and others Vs. Union of India and others, (2001)5, SCC, 577 and reiterated
in the subsequent case reported with the same name as (2003) 8, SCC, 398,
every machine, material object or equipment seized under the Act for
violation of the Act, is liable for confiscation straightaway. The vehicle in
question was used against the said provisions of the Act and Rules leading to
the abuse of process of law and therefore, its confiscation and consequent
non-release is very much justified.
