Case Summary: WP(MD)/14682/2026 Court Decision: The Madras High Court granted the writ petition and directed the hospital to immediately constitute a Medical Board to evaluate whether safe pregnancy termination is feasible for a 16-year-old rape survivor at 30 weeks gestation. If the Board confirms safety, termination shall proceed despite exceeding the statutory 24-week limit under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, based on the victim's reproductive rights and bodily privacy.
