He suffered head injuries after falling from the fourth floor of his paying guest house. It was stated that the petitioner&#8217;s family had done their best to treat him.

The petitioner was thus living and no one, including a physician, was permitted to cause death of another person by administering any lethal drug, even if the objective was to relieve the patient from pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court was of the view that they were not inclined to accept the request of the petitioner to refer the petitioner to a Medical Board to consider as to whether the petitioner can be allowed to undergo passive euthanasia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Harish Rana v.
