The Bombay High Court ruled that a Hindu woman in a relationship with a Muslim man has the right to choose her future, despite parental claims of coercion. The court denied custody to the partner but emphasized the woman’s autonomy, allowing her to act according to her wishes after being moved to a shelter.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a PIL petition asking for doctors to provide written information on medication side effects, stating that the duty to inform patients lies with drug manufacturers and pharmacists. The court rejected the argument that doctors should also provide this information, deeming the PIL unnecessary. The petitioner’s claim was not seen as disputing the adequacy of the existing framework.
