The blue colour is culturally associated with male children, leading authorities to view the advertisement as a prima facie indication of promoting sex selection.
The State government suspended nine registration certificates for ART clinics, ART banks, and surrogacy clinics operated by the hospital.
Action was taken under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021.
The Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 imposes a complete statutory ban on all forms of sex selection and sex-selective ART procedures in India.
