The Kerala High Court has directed the state's Health Department to instruct all doctors to preserve the foetuses of minor victims who undergo medical termination of pregnancy (MTP). This measure aims to ensure that crucial evidence is retained, preventing accused individuals from evading trial. Justice A. Badharudeen emphasized the importance of this directive, stating that doctors must obtain written permission from the investigating officer or the District Police Superintendent before any destruction of the preserved foetus.

 

 The court also recommended that both the state and central governments consider enacting appropriate legislation to formalize this requirement. This ruling came while quashing a case against a doctor accused of illegally aborting a minor's pregnancy and destroying the foetus without preserving it for investigation.

A new English-language documentary, “Ayurveda – The Double Helix of Life,” is set to premiere on June 11 in New Delhi, with a special screening at the Film Division Theatre. The film is directed by national award–winner Vinod Mankara and produced by Dr. A V Anoop under the A V A Productions banner, in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India.

 

Clocking in at around 90 minutes, the docu‑film explores how Ayurveda can complement modern medicine, especially in treating conditions like infertility, renal stones, diabetic neuropathy, and even Parkinson’s disease in Germany. It moves from traditional medicine-making practices to recent clinical breakthroughs such as rejuvenating skin treatments and slow-release pharmaceutical pads. Mankara, who also scripted the film, emphasises that the goal is to present Ayurveda as a scientifically valid system, not merely ancient tradition.

 

Featuring commentary from 52 experts—including doctors, scientists, and officials from the World Health Organization—the documentary aims to counter misinformation and highlight ongoing research in integrative medicine. Officials expected at the premiere include Minister of State for Ayush and Health Prataprao Jadhav and Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha. The film will be shown in multiple countries, aiming to raise global awareness of Ayurveda’s scientific potential.
