The 1st petitioner is suffering from chronic kidney disease. He has been advised to undergo transplantation. The 2nd petitioner has offered to donate his kidney. Even though the petitioners had preferred a joint application before the 3rd respondent, the same was rejected by Ext.P7 order. Aggrieved by the Ext.P7 order, the petitioners have preferred Ext.P8 appeal before the 2nd respondent on 18.03.2025. The petitioners are apprehensive that the 2nd respondent may not consider their appeal, expeditiously. Hence, the writ petition. 2025:KER:26320 W.P.(C)No.12644 of 2025 4 3. Heard; the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader. 4. On a consideration of the facts and the materials on record, particularly that Ext.P8 appeal is pending consideration before the 2nd respondent, without expressing anything on the merits of the appeal, I deem it appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to dispose of the appeal, expeditiously. In the said circumstances, I allow the writ petition, by directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P8 appeal, in accordance with law and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- C.S.DIAS SCB.27.03.25.
