Question

In which case, did the Supreme Court hold that Passive Euthanasia can be allowed under exceptional circumstances under strict monitoring of the Court?

A.

Aruna Ramchandra Shanbaug v/s Union of India

B.

Gian Kaur v/s State of Punjab

C.

P. Rathinam v/s Union of India

D.

Arayakkamdy v/s State

Correct option is A


In the landmark case of Aruna Ramchandra Shanbaug v. Union of India (2011), the Supreme Court of India allowed Passive Euthanasia under exceptional circumstances and laid down strict guidelines for the same. The Court held that life support can be legally withdrawn for patients in a permanent vegetative state, subject to approval from the High Court following due procedure. This case became a foundation for the later Common Cause v. Union of India (2018) ruling, which further recognized living wills and the right to die with dignity.
