law: Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994
  6. Authority for removal of human organs from
  
  bodies sent for postmortem examination for medico legal or pathological
  
  purposes
  Where the body of a person has been sent for
  
  post-mortem examination-
  (a) for medico-legal purposes by reason of the
  
  death of such person having been caused by accident or any other unnatural
  
  cause; or
  (b) for pathological purposes.
  the person competent under this Act to give
  
  authority for the removal of any human organ from such dead body may, if he has
  
  reason to believe that such human organ will not be required for the purpose
  
  for which such body has been sent for post-mortem examination, authorize the
  
  removal, for therapeutic purpose, of that human organ of the deceased person
  
  provided that he is satisfied that the deceased person had not expressed,
  
  before his death, any objection to any of his human organs being used, for
  
  therapeutic purposes after his death or, where he had granted an authority for
  
  the use of any of his human organs for therapeutic purposes after his death,
  
  such authority had not been revoked by him before his death.
