AIIMS Delhi Challenges HC order on pregnancy of minor rape survivor - Video
Overview
AIIMS Delhi Challenges HC order on minor rape survivor's pregnancy
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Thursday approached the Delhi High Court against an order allowing a 27-week pregnant minor rape survivor to terminate pregnancy.
A high court single judge on June 30 ordered AIIMS to terminate the 16-year-old girl's pregnancy.
According to the PTI news report, AIIMS, before a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Anish Dayal, argued that terminating her pregnancy would hamper her future reproductive health.
The bench asked the mother of the minor girl and the chairperson or a member of the medical board to remain present at around 2.30 pm when hearing would continue.
The court also remarked that "advising a rape victim to prolong her pregnancy will entail anxiety" which could have a grave impact on her mental health.
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, representing AIIMS, said the medical board opined that the girl's health needed to be protected.
