MRS. X vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court, under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, allowed a petition for medical termination of pregnancy at 22 weeks due to fetal conditions including bilateral renal agenesis and anhydramnios, which posed a risk to both the fetus and the mother's health. The Court emphasized the absence of curative treatment for the fetus and the potential danger to the mother's life if the pregnancy continued. The decision was based on the expert opinion of a Medical Board, which confirmed the diagnosis and the associated risks.
