Delhi High Court:<\/strong> While relying upon the Delhi High Court decision in Parveen Begum<\/em> v.\u00a0Appellate Authority<\/em>, 2012 SCC OnLine Del 2839<\/a>, the Single Bench of Sanjeev Sachdeva, J. has\u00a0held that the mere existence of disparity in the income of the donor and the recipient by itself\u00a0could not be a reason to reject an organ donation application.<\/p>\n

The Authorization Committee of a hospital had rejected the petitioner\u2019s application for\u00a0undergoing kidney transplant. The donor was claimed to be the mother of the daughter-in- law of\u00a0the recipient. The committee had observed that the donor had received cash from the recipient.\u00a0On appeal, the Appellate Authority noted that the observation of the committee could not be\u00a0substantiated and accordingly advised it to reconsider the matter. Later, the High Court directed\u00a0the Appellate Authority to decide the case instead of remitting the same, since the delay was\u00a0affecting the health of the petitioner. The appellant authority, thereafter, noting the economic\u00a0disparity between the donor and the recipient, and stating that there was no sufficient ground to\u00a0overrule the observations of the Authorization Committee, upheld the decision of the committee.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Court noted that the Appellate Authority had made observations completely contrary to its\u00a0observation in its previous order without providing any reasons for doing so. The Court also\u00a0observed that the mere fact that the son of the recipient has stated that he would help his in-laws\u00a0would not make the organ donation a commercial transaction or a transaction of the nature as is\u00a0prohibited by the Act. Keeping in view the deteriorating health of the petitioner, the\u00a0Authorization Committee was thus directed to forthwith grant its approval.
