CHENNAI: Thanks to the timely intervention of the Madras high court, a 27-year-old chronic kidney patient is set to undergo transplant surgery, as the authorisation committee which was sitting on his request to approve kidney donation from a person who is not his blood relative, has finally approved the donation.
On Thursday, while disposing of a plea moved by Sanjay Simon, Justice S M Subramaniam directed the committee to take appropriate action after scrutinizing the documents. On May 20, the committee approved the request of the petitioner.
