Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, in the order passed on April 13, 2026, said the soldier’s earlier consent, which was given when he started the IVF procedure, was sufficient even at this stage, and the consent of the wife would be treated as valid consent on his behalf for the purposes of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act.
