The Supreme Court recently expressed its reservations about entertaining a plea by a doctor who challenged the validity of the definition of brain-dead in the Transplantation of Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA), 1994.

After hearing the petitioner for some time, the Apex Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi adjourned the matter to decide if another pending case filed by the same petitioner has been disposed of.
