Lawrence against the decision of Single Judge allowing the donation of CPI Veteran to Ernakulam Government Medical College observed that it is “preferable that quietus be reached in this case”. Background of the Case One of the daughters of M. M. Lawrence, Asha Lawrence had approached the High Court 2 days after the death of her father objecting her siblings' decision to hand over her father's body to Ernakulam Government Medical College. The Single Bench of High Court on the same day disposed the petition directing the Principal of the Medical College to hear the daughter's objections before taking a decision on accepting the body. The Single Bench of the High Court dismissed the petition observing that the deceased had expressed his desire to donate his body for medical studies as per Section 4A of the Kerala Anatomy Act. The other daughter of Lawrence, Sujatha Boban had withdrawn her consent for donation of her father's body and filed a separate appeal before the High Court against the order of Single Judge.
