The Bombay High Court Today (Oct 31) permitted an 11-year-old sexual assault survivor to terminate her 30-week pregnancy. A vacation bench of Justices Sharmila Deshmukh and Jitendra Jain said the minor shall undergo the procedure for termination on Thursday itself at the state-run J J hospital here. The girl had moved HC through her father seeking permission to end the pregnancy.
The Supreme Court Today (April 22nd) allowed the petition filed by an alleged minor rape victim’s mother seeking termination of a 28-weeks-pregnancy of her 14-year-old daughter.
During a special evening session Yesterday (April 19th), following 4 pm, a panel led by CJI D Y Chandrachud and Justice J B Pardiwala instructed for her assessment, which encompasses evaluating the potential effects of the pregnancy on her mental and physical well-being.
