“CASE COMMENT ON X V, STATE OF MAHARASHTRA ” WRIT PETITION (L) NO. 4521 OF 2025

Abstract

This case serves as the central focus of our study and provides a compelling lens through which to examine the intersection of medical ethics, reproductive rights, and judicial intervention in late-term abortion cases in India. At the heart of the matter is a 26-year-old woman in Mumbai who, at eight months pregnant, discovered that her unborn child suffered from macrocephaly and severe neurological abnormalities.
