Bombay High Court<\/strong>: A Division Bench comprising of R.M. Borde and Vibha Kankanwadi, JJ. of the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court rejected a petition asking for donation of kidney by a 32 year old \u2018mentally challenged\u2019 man to his brother.<\/p>\n

The counsel for the petitioners contended that the petitioner was \u2018mentally ill\u2019 instead of \u2018mentally retarded\u2019 and hence, is in a position to give informed consent by relying on Sonia Ajit Vayklip<\/em> v. Hospital Committee, Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre<\/em>, (2012) SCCOnLine Bom 64<\/a>. Invoking the \u2018best interest test\u2019, the petitioners had further argued that the survival of the brother with the kidney ailment would be advantageous for the \u2018mentally challenged’ brother since he would be properly looked after by his brother.<\/p>\n

The Court in this regard noticed the petitioner\u2019s state of mind and observed that the decision-making power is severely impaired and also observed the Latin maxim, \u2018dura lex sed lex\u2019, meaning that \u2018the law is hard but it is the law\u2019 and further stated, \u201cThe restriction on removal and transplantation of human organs or tissues or both contained in sub-\u00adsection 1(\u00adC) of Section 9 of the Act in respect of mentally challenged person is an absolute prohibition\u201d thereby, rejecting the petition.
