News 18  

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday directed that adequate medical facilities and ex-gratia payment under the scheme ‘Rani Laxmi Bai Mahila Samman Kosh’ be provided to the 15-year-old rape survivor who had approached the HC seeking permission to terminate her 28-week pregnancy. The bench of Justices Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Prashant Kumar noted that the medical board, which examined the victim in pursuance of the court’s order, was unanimously of the opinion that the victim was medically fit to undergo any operation and since the foetus was of 30 weeks’ gestational age as per USG report, there was a possibility of live birth. When the medical board’s opinion was apprised to the victim’s father, he filed an affidavit, stating that till the birth and thereafter he was ready to keep and look after the baby until the adoption. Therefore, considering the poor financial condition of the victim and her family members, the division bench ordered adequate medical facilities to be provided to the victim at the District Hospital, Chandauli, and if required at Sir Sunderlal Hospital, BHU.
