The Free Press Journal|May 12, 2024

The mother approached the high court seeking permission for MTP as the daughter is more than 25week pregnant. The legal limit for MTP, without court permission, is 24-weeks.

Advocate Ashley Cusher, appearing for the mother, submitted that the daughter complained of a stomach ache on May 2. She was taken to a local health centre, where the doctor suspected her pregnancy. This was confirmed by tests.

The girl was produced before the Child Welfare Committee, Palghar, the next day which then sent her to a rescue home.
