Live Law  

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.Justice Pratibha M Singh sought a report from the hospital, while listing the matter for hearing next on December 5. 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. Accordingly, the court said: "Considering the gestational period, the medical board of LNJP hospital is directed to conduct medical examination of the petitioner today itself and submit a report to this court."
