Certificate of Altruism Not Automatically Mandatory for Organ Donation | Case-by-Case Assessment Required Under THOA : Kerala HC

The Kerala High Court ruled that authorities cannot impose a Certificate of Altruism as a blanket requirement for organ donation. Each application must be evaluated individually under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, ensuring procedural fairness and protecting donors from unnecessary bureaucratic barriers without evidence of commercial intent.
