The Madras High Court, on Friday (August 29, 2025), directed the Tamil Nadu Health Secretary to conduct an inquiry regarding the alleged involvement of Perambalur-based Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College and Hospital in the illegal kidney sale racket reported in the State.

Justice N. Anand Venkatesh issued the direction pursuant to two writ petitions filed by the private medical college, challenging an August 10 press release as well as a consequent order passed on August 18 for cancelling its kidney transplant licence.
