SC allows rape survivor to terminate 24-week pregnancy
The court cited a report submitted by a Mumbai hospital's medical board and said that continuing pregnancy might endanger the life of woman.
The order was given by a bench headed by justice JS Khehar.
The board of seven doctors reportedly observed that the foetus was a danger for the health of the mother.
The court had earlier directed the Mumbai hospital to form a panel of experts to examine the petitioner.
