    The Chhattisgarh High Court allowed a minor sexual assault victim's petition for pregnancy termination at 26 weeks gestation, finding that continuing the pregnancy poses physical and mental health risks to the victim and the fetus has serious congenital abnormalities. The court relied on the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 and Supreme Court precedents establishing reproductive autonomy as a fundamental right, particularly for rape victims whose mental anguish constitutes grave injury. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
