Mumbai:
Bombay high court on Monday declined permission for the medical termination of the nearly 33-week
pregnancy of a 13-year-old girl after a J J Hospital panel said it will result in the birth of a preterm child.
“You’ve come so late,” said a bench of Justices
Amjad Sayed and
Madhav Jamdar who heard a petition by her father seeking high court’s permission to terminate her pregnancy as the law does not permit medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) beyond 20 weeks.
His petition said an acquaintance offered religious cure for his older son’s epilepsy. Thereafter, he visited their home and even stalked the minor. Seven months ago, when he found her alone, he raped her after threatening her, including harm to her brother who was “cured by his grace”. He repeated the act after 2-3 days.

MUMBAI: After the state government on Monday informed that the Thane deputy collector was under pressure to give a report similar to the medical report on the ailing husband of a former MP, Bombay high court directed that instead a court official shall visit him.
A bench of Justices Amjad Sayed and Madhav Jamdar heard a petition by Rajkumari Ratna Singh and her two children to appoint them legal guardians of her husband Jaisingh Sisodia and caretaker of his properties. Singh was thrice Congress MP from Uttar Pradesh. Sisodia is descendant of a royal family in Rajasthan and is under treatment at a rehabilitation centre. On February 17, the HC directed HOD (Psychiatry), Thane Civil Hospital, to submit a report on Sisodia’s physical and mental condition and the deputy collector on his response to the petition.
