Hyderabad: In the special release of the approval of the mandatory partner for organ transplants, the Telangana High Court on Tuesday allows a man to contribute the kidney to his sister who is sick without his wife’s signature on the consent form because they are alienated and no longer in terms of speaking.
Justice T Amarnath Gour directs the State Health Authority and Apollo Hospital to continue with the pending kidney transplant at Madhuri Ballamudi without insisting that the prospective donor – his brother, Venkat Naren Karlapalem – first must get his wife’s approval.
Divorce of the estranged couple was waiting in court.
Venkat, a Ramakrishnapuram resident, and his younger sister Madhuri, who lives in Tarnaka, has approached the High Court with a request that they are siblings and agree to the kidney transplant.
Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, did not continue with the transplant scheduled for July 30, quoting an approval clause.
Petitioner’s advice, Prabhakar Sripada, told the court that hospital authorities examined donors and found them suitable for kidney donations.
Citing Telangana Transplantation from Human Organ Act, 1995, he said Venkat also installed “almost relative” definitions, as determined in Section 2 (J) Law.
“We did try to get approval from the donor’s wife, but he blocked our call after knowing about that goal.
It is impossible for him to convey his agreement,” Advisor said.
Taking aware of the special circumstances of the case, the court ruled that Madhuri, who suffered from the last kidney failure, should not be rejected by the kidney from the donor brother who was willing just because his wife would not give pair approval.
