SC allows 1st-ever court-approved euthanasia in landmark right-to-die case
Family sold house to continue treatment 
This landmark ruling not only recognizes the right to die with dignity but also calls on lawmakers to create clear rules around end-of-life care in India.
Harish's family spent years caring for him, paying up to ₹30,000 every month and even selling their house to continue his treatment.
Now, the court has ordered that he be moved to AIIMS for a dignified withdrawal of life support, with pain relief, skipping the usual waiting period.
The court clarified that clinically assisted nutrition and hydration (CANH) counts as medical treatment, not just basic care, setting an important legal precedent.
