The Court was further told that the child was undergoing treatment and that doctors had advised genital reconstructive surgery.
However, none of the doctors were prepared to conduct the surgery without orders from a competent court, prompting the parents to approach the High Court for directions.
The High Court, however, ultimately decided against directly granting permission for the surgery merely on the parents’ appeal, opining that doing so may be against the child’s consent.
“Permission is being sought to conduct non-consensual sex affirmative surgery. The Karyotype-46XX report of chromosomal analysis is not sufficient for granting the permission, as the possibility of a child with Karyotype-46XX developing male like tendencies in adulthood cannot be ruled out,” the Court held.
