The Bombay High Court (HC) has granted permission to a 32-year-old woman to terminate her 26-week pregnancy at a private hospital of her choosing, citing her fundamental rights to reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy, and personal choice.

A division bench consisting of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale ruled in favour of the petitioner, allowing the medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) to proceed, provided the chosen hospital submits an affidavit affirming its compliance with all legal requirements under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act.
