Mrs. X And Ors vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court, under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, allowed a petition for medical termination of pregnancy at 22 weeks due to the fetus's severe medical condition, specifically bilateral renal agenesis and anhydramnios. The Court emphasized that the fetus had no chance of survival and that continuing the pregnancy posed risks to the mother's physical and mental health. The Medical Board's findings were accepted, leading to the conclusion that the termination was justified under the circumstances.
