The Supreme Court has issued a stern warning to the Central government, cautioning that failure to comply with its April 24 order allowing a 15-year-old girl to terminate her over 28-week pregnancy could invite contempt proceedings.
The court made it clear that its directions were binding and must be implemented without delay at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), where the minor has been admitted since April 10. The strong observation came as the Union government sought an urgent listing of its review petition, citing ‘grave’ medical concerns surrounding the late-term termination.
However, the court refused to entertain the request, reiterating that the operative order had already been passed and must be followed.
