The Delhi High Court today refused to give its nod for termination of the 25-week-old pregnancy of a 15-year-old girl, after the medical board opined there was danger to the lives of both the foetus and the mother. <br/><br/>A bench of justices S Muralidhar and I S Mehta said, they cannot favour the minor girl's wish to medically terminate her pregnancy, as the foetus is viable.<br/><br/>The court declined the termination after a medical board of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) submitted before the bench that the foetus has taken a shape and it would not be advisable to allow termination.<br/><br/>The medical board had informed the court that there is life-risk for both the mother and the foetus. Taking note of the board's submissions, the bench said it cannot approve the request of the girl.
