The Supreme Court on Monday said that it is averse to issuing a direction to doctors to stop the unborn's heartbeat while allowing the Centre's application to recall its earlier order to allow termination of pregnancy.

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, also comprising Justice JB Pardiwala, observed that if a medical termination were to be conducted at this stage, the doctors would be faced with a viable foetus.
