Sudha Mathesan vs The Authorisation Committee ... on 30 May, 2024
22.The Madras High Court in S.Samson Vs. Authorisation
Committee 2008 SCC Online Mad 317 held that the Authorisation
Committee must give a cogent and convincing reasoning for concluding
that there exists financial bonding between the recipient and the donor. The
reasons must be valid and acceptable. An opportunity of hearing should be
given to the parties concerned. The matter has to be looked into with the
avowed object of helping the needy whose life is in danger. The authorities
concerned while exercising the power under the Act must look into the
issue in a manner so as to save the life of a person and the matter should not
be looked into from a technical point of view. It was further declared that
since organ donation is aimed to give immediate relief to the needy person
whose life is in peril, time is the essence in a matter of this nature. The
Authorisation Committees should not sit over the applications. They must
decide speedily.
