The Court noted that liver transplantation was the only viable lifesaving treatment, and that, after medical evaluation, the petitioner was found to be the only compatible living donor among the family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court took note of the approval granted by the appropriate authority and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, permitting the proposed donation on exceptional medical grounds. It observed that Rule 5(3)(<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">g<\/span>) does not impose an absolute prohibition on organ donation by minors but permits such donation in exceptional cases with prior approval of the competent authorities. The Court further recorded that the petitioner, being the biological son of the recipient, qualified as a &#8220;near relative&#8221; under the Act, was physically fit to donate, and had voluntarily expressed his willingness to undergo the procedure out of natural love and affection, without any element of coercion or commercial consideration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Holding that the balance of convenience overwhelmingly favoured permitting the transplant, the Court observed that refusal of permission could result in the loss of the petitioner&#8217;s father&#8217;s life.
