How do I find court cases under Section 51 of the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act?
In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Surrogacy (Regulation) Act 51, section 51 Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, section 51 of the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.
What should I read with Section 51 of the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, and has it changed?
Its own text turns on section 4 (Regulation of surrogacy and surrogacy procedures), section 19 (Meetings of Board), section 22 (Temporary association of persons with Board for particular purposes), section 29 (Meetings of State Board), and on 1 further provision, so none of them can safely be read on its own. The rules and notifications made under it are where it actually bites, and there is one: most recently The Surrogacy Regulations, 2023 (2023).
