This Court, vide order dated 31-12-2024, called for a report from the Chief Medical &amp; Health Officer, Raigarh who examined the minor victim and submitted the said report.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">With regard to permitting termination of pregnancy in certain circumstances, the Court referred to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Suchita Srivastava<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Chandigarh Admn.<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/T5UbEx4a\" target=\"_blank\">(2009) 9 SCC 1<\/a>, wherein the Supreme Court had laid down the guidelines based on the principle of &#8220;best interests&#8221; theory and held that the Court is required to ascertain the course of action which would serve the best interests of the person in question.

The Court further directed that the DNA sample of the foetus shall be preserved for further reference as the criminal case against the accused was pending.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">ABC v.
