Fetal anomaly detected late, Bombay HC allows 26-year-old to end pregnancy at 35 weeks

Bombay High Court permits a 26-year-old woman to medically terminate her over-35-week pregnancy due to fetal anomaly. The fetus suffers from congenital macrocephaly with severe potential complications, making it "incompatible with life." The decision follows a medical board's unanimous recommendation and aligns with the 2018 guidelines for terminations beyond 20 weeks.
