Case Summary The Bombay High Court permitted a 17-year-old rape victim to terminate her 27-week pregnancy, prioritizing her reproductive autonomy as a fundamental right despite the Medical Board's opinion that no medical grounds existed for termination. The court recognized that the pregnancy resulted from sexual assault, the petitioner's tender age, and social stigma, and directed Sir J.J. Hospital to conduct the procedure safely with parental consent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
