HC directs cops not to compel doc to disclose identity of minor
The Free Press Journal|May 08, 2024
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday directed the Palghar police not to compel a gynaecologist to disclose the identity of a minor, who approached him to medically terminate her pregnancy (MTP). The court also permitted the doctor to perform the procedure.

The HC was hearing a petition by two doctors seeking direction to the police not to compel them to disclose the identity of the girl. The girl, 16, and her mother had approached the doctor to terminate the girl's 14-week pregnancy. She disclosed that she was in a consensual relationship. As she is a minor, the doctor was required to report the pregnancy to the police under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The doctor is also required to collect forensic evidence.

A bench headed by Justice Mohite-Dere also asked the doctor to take conRevati sent from the mother and daughter before collecting and retaining the forensic evidence under the POCSO Act.
