Kathmandu, September 25 Patan High Court today ordered medical test of the child of former Nepali Janata Dal lawmaker Gayatri Shah. The court also sought advice of the medical board within three weeks to ensure whether the baby was fit for discharge from Medicity Hospital or not. A joint bench of justices Shreeman Kumar Gautam and Tek Narayan Kunwar ruled that the baby should be handed over to its parents if the government medical board decided that the baby was fit to be discharged. &If the baby is unfit for discharge, it should be treated at the same hospital where it is being treated now or at any other hospitals decided by the parents,& read the order.

Nepal Mediciti Hospital had filed a case requesting an order for discharge of the baby from the hospital after Shah and her husband Rajesh Mahato, refused to take the baby home.

Shah had given birth to the baby at the hospital with Down syndrome on March 12.

She has been visiting the hospital to breastfeed her child.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder usually associated with physical growth delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic facial features. Shah and her husband were arrested following an FIR lodged by Nepal Mediciti Hospital on April 4 on charge of abandoning their newborn at the hospital.

The duo were released later.

The couple had staged protest on the hospital premises accusing the hospital of lying about the baby health condition while in mother womb, during Shah routine health check-up. The post High Court orders medical test of Gayatri Shah child appeared first on The Himalayan Times.
