In Harish Rana v. Union of India, the Supreme Court of India permitted withdrawal of life support for a man in a permanent vegetative state, marking the first judicial implementation of passive euthanasia guidelines evolved in Common Cause v. Union of India. The Bench comprising Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice K.V. Viswanathan reaffirmed that the right to die with dignity forms part of Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court held that Clinically Administered Nutrition (CAN) constitutes medical treatment and may be withdrawn when recovery is medically impossible. Relying on unanimous opinions of primary and secondary medical boards, the Court found continued treatment merely prolonged biological existence without dignity. It directed shifting the patient to palliative care for humane withdrawal of life support and issued nationwide procedural directions to streamline passive euthanasia implementation, while recommending comprehensive legislation governing end-of-life decisions.
