#Pregnancy Termination Beyond 24 Weeks

Bombay High Court invokes Article 21 to override the 24-week ceiling under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, allowing termination for a 19-year-old unmarried woman at 26.6 weeks. The ruling prioritizes psychological well-being and reproductive autonomy, setting a precedent for judicial discretion in late-term terminations where statutory limits conflict with fundamental rights.
