Supreme Court strongly objects to a plea filed by AIIMS seeking to set aside its earlier order that permitted a 15-year-old girl to medically terminate her 30-week pregnancy.

Court also asks the Centre to consider amending the law to allow rape survivors to terminate unwanted pregnancies even beyond 20 weeks.

It observes that in cases of pregnancy arising from rape, there should not be a rigid time limit, and stresses that the law must remain organic and evolve with changing times.
