Delhi High Court ordered a hospital to hand over the frozen sperm of their dead son to them.

The landmark order came after a four-year legal battle with Ganga Ram Hospital in India .

The couple's 30-year-old son, Preet Inder Singh , had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma - a form of blood cancer - and died in September 2020 .

A few months later , when the grief-stricken parents sought access to their son's frozen sperm, the hospital declined their request.

They petitioned the court and said they would bring up any child born using the sample.

Under Indian law commercial surrogacy is illegal.

Ganga Ram Hospital said legally they could only release the sample to the spouse.

They said there were no clear laws or guidelines that governed the release of semen samples.

The Indian government also opposed the couple’s petition, saying that surrogacy laws in India were meant to assist infertile couples or women, not people who wanted to have a grandchild.
