The High Court recently intervened in a sensitive medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) case involving a girl over 26 weeks of gestation. Despite the medical board’s initial hesitation to approve the termination beyond the standard legal limit, the court chose to prioritize the girl’s own testimony and circumstances. After hearing her account and considering the compassionate aspects of the case, the HC granted permission for the MTP, overriding the medical board’s stance. This judgment highlights the judiciary’s evolving approach toward reproductive rights, emphasizing individual autonomy and medical ethics over rigid adherence to procedural norms.
