On 18.08.2021 we had passed the following order : "2. Petitioner seeks medical termination of her pregnancy on the ground that the fetus suffers from severe abnormalities. It is stated that the fetus is presently in its 23rd week.
3. Having regard to the above, we direct Sassoon Hospital, Pune to constitute a medical board for examination of the petitioner and thereafter to submit a report before this Court in sealed cover on or before the next date.
4. Stand over to 25.08.2021."
2/3 3.
Thereafter when the matter was called upon on 25.08.2021 the following order was passed :
"3. Today when the matter is called upon, Smt. Purav, learned AGP has placed before us report of the medical board dated 21.08.2021 which we have perused.
4. Relevant portion of the recommendation of the medical board reads as under:
"Key recommendations of the panel (if any) with justification:On clinical and ultra sonographic examination mother has pregnancy of 23 weeks. She has no major medical complications at present. In view of ultra sonographic findings of complex cardiac anomalies likely to be double outlet right ventricle and hypo plastic left side of heart, in the post natal period baby will require multiple operations early in life for survival. Baby will have poor prognosis with significant morbidity and mortality. Thus medical termination of pregnancy is recommended with kind permission of Hon'ble High Court."
5. Thus we find that medical board has recommended medical termination of pregnancy of the petitioner as it is stated that the fetus has poor prognosis with significant morbidity and mortality.
6. In that view of the matter, we permit the petitioner to undergo medical termination of pregnancy in B. J. Government Medical College and Sassoon General Hospital, Pune expeditiously. Outcome of the procedure shall be informed to the Court on the next date.
7. Stand over to 01.09.2021."

Today, when the matter is called upon Ms.Padwal, learned Counsel for the Petitioner has informed us that medical termination of pregnancy of the Petitioner was successfully carried out in B.J Government Medical College and Sassoon General Hospital, Pune on 31.08.2021. 5.
In view of the above, nothing survives in the matter. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of.
