The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the medical board of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital to examine a 26-year-old married woman's case for termination of pregnancy of 33 weeks, as the foetus suffers from cerebral abnormalities. The counsel also submitted that since GTB hospital does not have a medical board for MTP cases, the foetus can be examined by the medical board of LNJP Hospital.
