Indian High Courts Rule on Bail in Cases Involving Abortion, Child Assault, and Murder
Three recent court rulings highlight judicial responses to serious criminal cases in India. The Gujarat High Court denied bail to a doctor accused of illegally aborting a rape survivor's pregnancy and disposing of the foetus to obstruct justice. In another case, the same court granted bail to a pregnant woman who fatally assaulted her hungry child, citing societal failure amid poverty. Meanwhile, the Punjab and Haryana High Court refused bail to a man accused of murdering a woman in front of her elderly father, emphasizing the victim's family's rights despite prosecution delays.
