Supreme Court News Marathi : The Supreme Court on Thursday (April 30, 2026) refused to quash its order for a 30-week abortion of a 15-year-old minor girl. AIIMS Hospital had filed a curative petition against the Supreme Court’s order requesting the continuation of the pregnancy. Central Govt And Ames, arguing that abortion was harmful to both mother and child, urged that pregnancy continue for four weeks and that normal delivery be performed. However, the court said that it was a case of rape and giving birth to the child would cause mental trauma and torture to the minor girl for life.

A bench of Chief Justice Suryakant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, “You cannot take a decision on behalf of a family. Explain your demands to the girl and her parents. If they disagree, follow our order and complete the medical procedure.” During the hearing, the AIIMS doctor and the Additional Solicitor General argued that the abortion would cause the baby to suffer from many health problems, which she would have to face for the rest of her life. It may also happen that she may never be able to give birth to a child.

According to a Bar and Bench report, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Aishwarya Bhati argued in favor of continuing the pregnancy and said, “It is with great sadness that we have to file this curative petition. This curative petition is filed on behalf of AIIMS. Abortion is not possible at this time. If the baby is taken out of the mother’s womb at this time, the baby will suffer severe malformation. The young mother may face lifelong health problems and may never be able to give birth again.”

Chief Justice Suryakant told them that if the mother does not suffer from any permanent disability, the procedure should be carried out. This is a case of rape. If she gives birth to a baby, she will have to suffer mental trauma and torture for the rest of her life. It is a battle between the baby and the child in the womb. The ASG replied, “This is not a battle between the fetus and the child. The discussion is about what is best for the child. The procedure will cause health problems for her throughout her life.” Responding to this argument, Chief Justice Suryakant asked the Additional Solicitor General, “Though her life became more complicated after marriage… is the pain greater now or after marriage?” The Additional Solicitor General reiterated, “It is a 30-week pregnancy. There is every possibility that the baby will survive and they can even adopt the baby.”
