Wondering how friendship can be proved through documentary evidence, the Madras High Court has set aside an order passed by an Authorisation Committee, constituted to regulate unrelated organ donations, refusing permission for kidney transplantation between two individuals who claimed to be family friends.
Justice N. Anand Venkatesh found that the committee had denied permission solely on the basis of the Erode Collector’s report, which stated that the donor C. Ganesan of Erode and recipient V. Periasamy of Thanjavur had not produced documents to prove they were family friends.
