More than 90% cases were filed based on incomplete documentation that was not sufficient to prove the involvement in the sex determination. Such actions were harassing the medical professionals and many of them have stopped doing ultrasound of the pregnant woman. Few unethical activists who used to do string operation and black mailing them are also a big concern for them. There was no healthy environment for them. There has been regular protest by medical associations by national level strike and other ways.
The system has created a healthy and stress free environment as technology does not allow then to do mistakes and act rules are automatically followed.It assisted the ethical professional a tool to prove their innocence.
Initially, the invention was strongly opposed by all medical professionals thinking as additional burden on them and another way for the Government Authority to trouble them.
The Indian Radiology & Imaging Association even went ahead to file a WRIT petition in Bombay High Court challenging this invention by patient privacy, etc. But Bombay High Court ruled out the petition and stated that "Right to life is more important than Right to Privacy"
Further, Rajasthan High Court in another judgment made installation of Active Tracker mandatory in the entire state. Chattisgadh State High Court and few District Session Courts also issued similar judgment and confirmed its benefits and made this invention "Legal".
