Had sought a medical report
New Delhi, July 25
The Supreme Court on Monday permitted the termination of a 24-week-old pregnancy after medical reports said the foetus had severe abnormalities and it could gravely endanger the “mental and physical health” of the woman.
The bench comprising Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar and Justice Arun Mishra, after perusing the report of a medical board of KEM Hospital, Mumbai, said, “We direct the liberty to terminate the pregnancy by the pregnant mother in accordance with law.”
The report by a team of seven doctors came following the court’s order on Friday to examine the pregnant woman and give its opinion on her plea seeking direction for termination of the pregnancy. IANS
