A Final Act of Love: Supreme Court Grants 'Right to Die' to Ghaziabad Man After 13 Years on Life Support

New Delhi, March 11 : In a deeply moving and significant judgment, the Supreme Court of India has granted permission to withdraw life support for Harish Rana, a 31-year-old man from Ghaziabad who has been in a persistent vegetative state for 13 years.

Responding to the heartfelt plea of his elderly parents, this ruling allows him to pass away with dignity.

Rana’s tragic journey started in 2013. He was then a bright 20-year-old student at Punjab University when he suffered severe brain injuries after falling from the fourth floor of his accommodation.

For over a decade, he has been completely bedridden, depending entirely on a tracheostomy tube to breathe and a feeding tube for nutrition. Despite his family's unwavering support, medical boards confirmed there was no hope for his recovery.
