It was stated that if she was forced to deliver the baby, it would cause cataclysmic consequences to her physiological and psychological condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The examination report submitted by the Medical Examination Board initially contained confusing content which led the Court to interact with the members of Medical Board. The further report submitted by the Review Medical Board recommended continuation of pregnancy till 36-weeks which was to be followed by delivery of baby through caesarean section.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court after the further interaction with the &#8216;Review Board&#8217; opined that if the child was to be delivered now, it could have serious impact on its health and prognosis because the gestation period was already 34 weeks, they also informed that another two weeks of gestation of the foetus would not affect the physiological well-being of the mother.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Considering the fact that it was not a case where termination of pregnancy was an option, since the foetus was fully developed and will have to be allowed to be born, the Court rejected the request for medical termination of pregnancy. The Court further left the petitioners at liberty to obtain the continuous assistance of the doctors at the Government Medical College, and after the baby was born, all protection will be offered by the doctors and other competent authorities to decide the nature of delivery after expert evaluation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court also peremptorily directed the parents to ensure that the minor brother against whom allegations were made for impregnating his minor sister was not allowed anywhere near her or to have access to her in any manner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">XYZ v.
