In case of Indian Society of Organ Transplantation v. Union of India [2025] GCtR 1766 (SC), it was held that though the life of a recipient is required to be taken care of, equally the life of a live donor who parts with a valuable part of his body should not be neglected and should be adequately taken care of after the operation is carried out.
NOTTO (National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization) must come forward with a national policy which also addresses concerns with regard to the maintenance of the health of a live donor after the operation is carried out.
Union of India through Ministry of Home Affairs in consultation with NOTTO, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the organization to consider amending Form 4 and Form 4A of the Registration of Births and Deaths Rules, 1999 so as to include a column on whether the deceased was a case of brain-stem death and if that be the case to indicate whether the option to donate organs was given to the relatives of the deceased.
