To make sure that there is documentation of such correspondence, the directive was issued.

The Court further demanded that the timelines recommended for finishing the paperwork and interviews related to organ donations be properly implemented.

In a recent ruling, the Delhi High Court mandated that in cases where the documentation provided for organ donation is deemed inadequate, the organ donor, recipient, and/or their immediate family members must be notified via email or WhatsApp [Amar Singh Bhatia & Anr v Sir Ganga Ram Hospital & Ors].

The order to make sure there is documentation of such communication to the donor and/or receiver was given by Justice Prathiba M. Singh.

"It is further clarified that, in the event that correspondence is required with the donor or recipient concerning any procedural formalities or deficiencies in documentation, the said donor, recipient, or any of their close relatives shall receive the communication via WhatsApp or email, providing proof of communication," the Court's May 20 order stated.

The Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994 authorisation committees were all tasked by the Court with adhering to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's recommended timelines for processing applications, confirming or completing documentation, and arranging interviews for organ and tissue transplants.

A retired Indian Air Force officer who was diagnosed with kidney failure in March 2017 submitted a plea, and the court granted it.

On January 4, 2024, Justice Singh issued a comprehensive order mandating the government to create schedules for organ and tissue transplantation.

On May 20, the timeframes were presented to the court.

Following consideration of the same, the Court directed that they get sufficient publicity in addition to the Court's instructions in the matter to ensure proper compliance by all parties involved, including government agencies and hospitals.
