32-year-old Harish Rana, who has been in a coma ever since a fall 13 years ago left him with severe brain injuries, has been allowed to die by the Supreme Court. This marks the first-ever case of a court-ordered passive euthanasia in the country.
The verdict, which clarified several aspects of a 2018 Supreme Court judgment that recognised the legality of passive euthanasia, was delivered by an emotional bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and KV Viswanathan.
