The\u00a0Supreme Court on\u00a0Thursday gave permission for termination of a 14 year old minor rape victim’s 25-week-old pregnancy. This, despite<\/span>\u00a0the country’s abortion laws allowing abortion only until the 20th week.\u00a0A panel of 5 doctors gave the final nod for the procedure after evaluating the girl’s health. The procedure will be carried out today.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court had come to the rescue of the 14-year-old victim who had been denied permission earlier\u00a0by the sessions as well as the high court. The apex court said she can undergo abortion if medical experts allow it.<\/p>\n

The girl became pregnant after being allegedly raped by Dr. Jatin Mehta whom she had visited for treatment of typhoid earlier this year. The Supreme Court bench had said it would ask the civil hospital here to get the girl examined by gynecologists and a clinical psychologist.<\/p>\n

Earlier Gujarat high court’s Justice Abhilasha Kumari had refused permission for abortion on July 24 on the ground that the law does not allow it after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The girl’s father had first moved the sessions court seeking termination of pregnancy, saying she was in no position to take care of the child.<\/p>\n

The apex court had also directed that in case of abortion, a DNA test of the foetus should be carried out which can help in the trial of the accused doctor.<\/p>\n
