Supreme Court hears a plea against illegal organ transplant

Justice Surya Kant : This is a medical issue how do we decide it

Dr S Ganpathy: Recently a few weeks back CJI while addressing Bar Association Amravati stated that not parliament but constitution was supreme and to uphold the same judiciary intervene. This is a case about brain death and the word is a misnomer and this is a term coined to get organs from those who are not dead..

Justice Kant: It's impossible for me to grasp this medical language.Image
Justice Kant: We may agree with you... But there is doctrine of separation of powers... How do we direct parliament ?

Justice Bagchi: Issue is legislative. Right to abort, is a legislative right. Passive euthanasia was recognised by this court. How can courts replace with something else when legislature takes irreversible cessation of brain activities as brain death.. how can we change it ?
Justice Bagchi: We can only enforce constitution..this is not an unlawful intrusion into Article 21. We cannot second guess the legislature for defining what is brain dead.
