While passing the order, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav underscored that citizens could not be forced to choose between their right to education and their right to exercise reproductive autonomy.
“A man could then well enjoy parenthood while pursuing his higher education, whereas a woman necessarily has to undergo pre and post pregnancy care. It is not her choice, but the will of nature. What is, however, left for us to decide is the consequence we would impose upon a woman who bears a child,” said the judge in his order.
