Kerala High Court:<\/strong> The Bench of Anu Sivaraman, J. hearing a petition pertaining to kidney transplantation and donation, directed the issue to be decided by Committee for Transplantation of Human Organs in accordance with Section 9(3) of the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994.<\/p>\n

Petitioner\u2019s application for kidney transplantation was placed before Medical Trust Hospital\u2019s Organ Transplantation Committee (2nd<\/sup> respondent), but it was not forwarded to 1st<\/sup> respondent for want of favourable certificates by the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP\/3rd<\/sup> respondent).<\/p>\n

In the instant case, the donor was the wife of one Anoop who was working as a Packing Supervisor at Amal Threads at Muvattupuzha. Owner of Amal Threads was the sister-in-law of petitioner herein. Elder child of the donor was suffering from epilepsy and under treatment. Petitioner and his family had agreed to make arrangements for treatment of the donor\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

The Court noted that 1st<\/sup> respondent is the authority empowered to consider the issue of transplantation of human organs where the donor is a known person is to be considered as per Section 9 (3) of the Act. All relevant aspects, including the relationship between the parties, bonafides of the application, whether any amounts have changed hands \u2013 all these matters must be considered by 1st<\/sup> respondent in accordance with law. The report of DSP is liable to be considered by 1st<\/sup> respondent while passing such orders.<\/p>\n

In view of the above, the petitioner\u2019s application was directed to be forwarded to 1st<\/sup> respondent along with the DSP\u2019s report. 1st<\/sup> respondent was directed to consider petitioner\u2019s application taking note of all the relevant aspects, and consider whether the donation was being done on an altruistic basis. It was directed that orders on the said application be passed with notice to donor and donee within two weeks, and after considering whether the donor was fully aware of the consequences of her action.
