Teenager Fights To Save Her Father's Life Through Liver Donation

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has urged the state government to expedite its decision on a teenager's plea to donate part of her liver to her ailing father. The court mandated a medical evaluation of Preeti, the donor, to ensure her health will not be compromised by the procedure.

The Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed the state government to swiftly decide on a teenager's plea to donate a portion of her liver to her ailing father.

Justice Vinay Saraf instructed the government to submit a report within three days. The judge also ordered a local hospital to examine the teen, identified as Preeti, to evaluate the potential health impact of her donation to her father, Shivnarayan Batham, aged 42.

Batham's attorney informed the court that official permission was requisite for the donation, and any delay could endanger his client's life. The government's counsel confirmed that Preeti's request had been forwarded for approval. Justice Saraf emphasized the urgency, instructing the state to resolve the issue within three days due to the medical emergency. Additionally, the donor must undergo a medical examination at M.Y.H. Hospital, Indore, where a committee will determine her suitability for the procedure. Batham, hospitalized with severe liver disease for six years, relies on this donation from his eldest daughter to survive. The court will review the case on June 24.
