During the past several decades, many childless couples have travelled to India in search of surrogacy. In India, the legal status of surrogacy is unmistakable. Gestational surrogacy is legal in India. One of the few nations where commercial surrogacy is still legal in India. However, there is no legal prohibition against commercial surrogacy in India. This suggests that although commercial surrogacy is not illegal in India, neither is there specific legislation regulating it. Even while women have benefited from increased access to educational and employment opportunities as a result of globalisation, the gap between the gender has only widened on a global and local scale. Consequently, gender contradictions are not unique to the surrogacy industry but characterise women's outsourced work everywhere.

This essay underscores the imperative of scrutinizing the court's methodologies to enhance the protection of human rights. Emphasizing the pivotal moment to educate on human rights and cultivate a legal culture, it contends that Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, affirming the right to life and personal liberty, gains fortified protection through the judiciary's expanded locus standi. Noteworthy is the court's judicious and reformative approach, meticulously analysing present circumstances and potential harm before proposing remedies. However, the article laments the diminishing scope for a broad interpretation of Article 21's "life" and "liberty" clauses. Public interest petitions have surfaced, addressing concerns like special treatment for incarcerated children, shielding them from harm and pollution, ensuring timely medical aid, preventing starvation-induced deaths, and enhancing conditions in after-care facilities. These efforts collectively aim to infuse purpose into life, transcending mere existence.
