Pune: The Supreme Court today allowed a Pune-based woman to abort her 24-week foetus, which does not have a skull or a brain.
The apex court relied on the report of the medical board of the Pune-based B J Government Medical College that there was no medical treatment for the anomaly.
“We consider it appropriate and in the interest of justice to allow termination of pregnancy,” a bench comprising Justices S A Bobde and L Nageswara Rao said.
