The Court noted that the petitioner was a doctor by profession, a major in age, fully aware of all medical and legal consequences of kidney donation and had expressed urgency on account of a family history of diabetes, which could affect the viability of donation at a later stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that this was &#8220;one of the rare cases&#8221; where a petitioner had approached the Court with a request to donate a kidney altruistically and without seeking for any compensation of any nature. The Court found that the application had not been considered due to a misconception that the absence of prior knowledge between donor and donee could imply an impermissible transaction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Rejecting such an approach, the Court observed that the petitioner had clearly stated that she was &#8220;not making any choice as regards who the donee has to be&#8221;, and that identification of the recipient could be left entirely to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Taking note of the petitioner&#8217;s professional background and informed consent, the Court held that when a person, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;being aware of all the aspects relating thereto, has come forward for donating her kidney of her own free will and volition,&#8221;<\/span> such a request <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;has to be given due credence and accepted and put in action.&#8221;<\/span> The Court also recognised the urgency expressed by the petitioner due to the likelihood of early kidney-related complications arising from her family history of diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>The Court allowed the writ petition and issued the following directions &#8212;<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p>The respondent hospital was directed to conduct all necessary medical tests on the identified potential donees to determine compatibility and suitability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Upon completion of such tests, the results were to be placed before Respondent 1 (HBAC) for approval.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The Authorization Committee was directed to consider the same and pass necessary orders within one week of such submission.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">All remaining procedures were to be carried out strictly in accordance with the applicable statutory framework.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">ABC<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Chairperson, Hospital Based Authorization Committee<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/JV3o9t53\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 SCC OnLine Kar 23109<\/a>, Decided on 25-11-2025<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Sri.
