The medical board of Delhiās LNJP Hospital informed the Court that it had rejected the request for termination, given the advanced stage of pregnancy.
The court said that with advancement in technology, a lot of things can be detected at the foetal stage and can the parents say that they will only have 'perfect children'.
Though the court said minors engaging in consensual sexual activity can ask registered medical practitioners not to report instances of pregnancy, this could have a disastrous effect on children facing sexual abuse.
