MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday directed the appropriate authority under the Organ Transplantation Act to consider expeditiously an application for liver transplant by a 16-year-old donor for her father, despite her being a minor.
"Since the condition of the petitioner’s father is critical, we request that the said application be decided, as expeditiously as possible, and in any event on or before May 4, 2022," said a bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Madhav Jamdar hearing the minor’s petition filed through her next of friend, her mother, for permission to be the donor for her father.
