ASG Aishwarya Bhati: With profound pain we have to mention this curative. This curative is from AIIMS. Termination of pregnancy is not possible. It will be a live baby with severe deformities. Minor mother will have life long health issues and cannot reproduce. I am sorry I am not composed..
CJI Surya Kant: if the mother does not have permanent disability then it should be carried out. This is a case of child rape. Victim will have lifelong scar and trauma. This is foetus vs child fight.
ASG: this is not foetus vs child fight. This is in best interest of child. Minor mother will have life long health issues.
CJI: Even if she has complicated marital life later..is this pain more or that one.
ASG: this child can be given for adoption. It has been 30 weeks now..it is a viable life now.
CJI: the first judgment of this country on this was delivered by me. If supreme court had not stayed it..it would have been law now. Justice Augustine Masih was on bench with me then. Later SC reversed its own ruling. There are children for adoption. In this country we have lot of sympathies... There are deserted, abandoned children on the streets and even mafias on it. We have to look at them. This is an unwanted pregnancy of a 15 year old child.
CJI: This is a curative. Unwanted pregnancy cannot be thrusted on a person. Imagine she is a child. She should be studying now. But we want to make her a mother. Imagine the pain, the humiliation the child has suffered in this.
ASG: just four more weeks.. it will be better for the child mother.
CJI: my sister must have seen all this
Premature delivery and foeticide are the two things which has to be done now..it's injecting the foetal heart: ASG

Adv Nizam Pasha begins submissions
Adv Pasha: The reason we were constrained to file this intervention application is because a writ petition came to be filed before the Delhi High Court following the Sabarimala judgment. The petitioner, a law student who had come to Delhi for an internship, visited the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah and was stopped from entering the sanctum sanctorum, the small enclosure where the grave is housed. She claimed that this was a violation of her rights as declared in Sabarimala.
The relief sought before the High Court was a declaration that the practice of prohibiting women from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah is illegal and unconstitutional.
This raises the issue which has been troubling the Court, namely whether a complete third party, a non believer, can enter a place of worship and demand that matters of faith must yield to their individual claims. This is a stark example of such a situation.

[Case of rape of a four year old girl in Ghaziabad]
Sr Adv N Hariharan: They have dragged father and wants to record Sextion 164 croc statement. If investigation is complete then why to record it now. You say chargesheet is filed and now this. Police man can be seen dragging the father. The father is right here. He was asked not to change the statement. If trial is there then he will be summoned. He was dragged by police..these two hospitals have filed affidavits saying the child was alive..where is the need for coercion.
Hariharan: As far as this situation is concerned. The investigation officers etc are behaving very differently. Not a single person examined in the hospital. Why is it that they are shielding the hospital. This requires a probe
Hariharan: no medical attention was given to the child. They had the facilities.
CJI: records indicate as alleged by the father of the child is duly noticed in our earlier order. Petitioner grievance has been that their needs to be fair probe and that there is negligence on part of local police and two private hospitals.
