HC refers to its ruling that unborn child has rights, says HC
Observing that police or State cannot obstruct the rights of an unborn child, Telangana High Court on Monday said a pregnant woman lodged behind the bars by Nalgonda police under the PD Act shall be set free. Nalgonda district police invoked provisions of PD Act against 33-year-old Akula Swathi who was accused of involvement in cheating cases. The woman had a child and was pregnant when she was arrested under the special Act. Her mother G. Sailaja moved the HC by filing a writ petition and sought a direction to police to release her daughter since the latter was pregnant. The plea came up for hearing before a division bench of Justices A. Rajasheker Reddy and Shameem Akther.
