SHAKUNTALA SHARMA Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) S. H. A. Raza, J. The greatest danger to this Country comes from the population explosion. Inspite of the developmental activities during the last fifty years, our industrial production has considerably increased. Due to the green revolution which has ushered mostly in those areas where proper irrigation facilities were made available, the food production has not only increased but India has become more or less self reliant. It is a matter of great pleasure for all the Indians that India although often imports oil seeds and foodgrains, but also export foodgrains particularly rice, but inspite of that fact our export is much below than the export of Hong Kong, which a Century before was a small island. Its export has increased to such an extent that this country having a population of hundred crores is unable to surpass even Hong Kong.

(2.) WHATSOEVER development has taken place in industrial and agriculture sector, its effect become negligible due to population explosion.

(3.) SMT. Shakuntala was married to Ghanshyam about twenty five years back. Out of the wedlock of the petitioner and her husband three children (two sons and a daughter) were born. SMT. Shakuntala and her family were enjoying happy and peaceful life.
