Sir/Madam, I would like to know, if a woman after 22nd week of pregnency finds out that the foetus is suffering from a critical heart disease and shall never lead a normal life and she appeals for abortion, shall the honourable court allow her? Thanking You, Yours sincerely, Anindita Saha.

Going by the current legislation there is no legal way of termination after 20th week. In India we never know what is legal and what is illegal.
