Says FIR has only implicated the names of donors and recipients
The Madras High Court has directed the Principal Secretary (Health and Family Welfare Department) and the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services to renew M.R. Hospital’s licence to perform renal transplant within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order.
The hospital, following the suspension of its licence to perform renal transplantation on January 27, 2014, filed a writ petition seeking quashing of the order passed by the Directorate of Medical Services. It filed another writ petition seeking a direction to the State Appropriate Authority to process the renewal application for a period of five years.
Two of its patients, N. Chandra (recipient) and donor J. Saraswathi, and B. Jeyamani (recipient) and donor M. Devi, produced relevant documents stating that they were second degree relative donors. Since their documents were duly signed and attested by one of the relevant authorities, a notary public, the hospital forwarded it for clearance after conducting various tests and examination of medical fitness.
In its order dated July 25, the court observed that the FIR implicated only the names of the donors and recipients under Sections 420, 465, 468 and 471 of the IPC and the name of the petitioner hospital had not been shown.
