HC relief for Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri in AbRam’s sex determination case

She demanded documents about the tests, if any, from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which is the authority under the Pre-conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act.

Advocate Uday Warunjikar, her lawyer, said she wanted these documents for pursuing her complaint. As the magistrate rejected her plea last year, she moved the High Court.

Shah Rukh Khan’s lawyer Pranav Badheka told the court that no sex determination test was ever conducted. Badheka also argued that Deshpande had no right to seek the documents.

The MCGM told the HC that it conducted an inquiry and found that the allegation against the Khan couple was baseless.

The HC today upheld the lower court’s order. The proceedings on Deshpande’s complaint before the magistrate’s court, however, would continue.
