Rape FIR 'Suspicious': MP High Court Denies Permission To Terminate Minor's 28-Week Pregnancy

The Madhya Pradesh High Court denied a petition for the medical termination of a 28-week pregnancy. The case involved a woman seeking an abortion due to a false FIR, but the court ruled that the grounds provided did not meet the legal requirements for terminating a pregnancy at this advanced stage. According to Indian law, abortions after 24 weeks are only permitted under specific circumstances, and in this instance, the court determined that the petitioner's situation did not justify the procedure.
