HC relief for Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan were caught in controversy at the birth of their son surrogate Son AbRam. Activist Varsha Deshpande had filed a Sex Determination case against them. Today SRK’s lawyer Pranav Badheka told the court that no sex determination test was ever conducted. The Bombay High Court too ruled in favour of the Khan, rejecting the plea that demanded documents about the sex determination test allegedly undergone by Gauri Khan.

Activist Varsha had filed a complaint before the magistrate’s court, seeking an action against Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri, alleging that a sex determination test was done before the birth of their son AbRam through a surrogate mother.

Varsha 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.

The High Court conducted an inquiry and found that the allegation against the Khan couple was baseless. The High Court upheld the lower court’s order with Justice Reveti Mohite-Dere, rejecting the demand.
