Issue: What are the rights of a child in the mother’s womb?

Observation: The Supreme Court considered a Special Leave Petition challenging the Delhi High Court’s dismissal of the petitioner’s plea when the pregnancy had crossed 29 weeks. The Court noted that the child in the womb has a fundamental right to life. However, given the advanced stage of the pregnancy, the bench dismissed the petition, emphasizing the child's right to life over the mother's plea for termination.
