The case of the petitioners, as per the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition is that, the 1st petitioner is a graduate in pharmacy and currently self-employed and is unmarried, due to his health condition. He is diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis, a chronic kidney disease. As he suffered heavy internal bleeding (Peritoneal Haemorrhage) in his right kidney in the year 2007, he underwent a surgery to remove his right kidney. The function of his left kidney got affected in November, 2016 and since then, he has been undergoing dialysis thrice a week at Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology, Hyderabad and the doctors, who have been treating him regularly for the past twenty months, have strongly recommended surgical extraction and removal of his left kidney and transplantation of a new kidney in its place. In the affidavit, petitioner No.1 stated in detail, the side effects because of prolonged dialysis since November, 2016.

3. It is further stated that the 1st petitioner is unable to carry on his profession, as he has to undergo dialysis thrice a week on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the consequent side effects of sheer exhaustion and fatigue and that the dialysis process since November, 2016, has taken a toll in all aspects, physically, mentally and financially.

4. The mother of the 1st petitioner died in the year 2012 and his grandfather died in the year 2017. During the life time of his mother, she employed the 2nd petitioner as driver-cum-family assistant, in the year 2007, and since then, he has been performing all the works entrusted to him and used to call the mother of the 1st petitioner as Amma (mother). The 2nd petitioner also developed a close bond with his late grandfather during his visits to Hyderabad from Puttaparthi and used to help and accompany him while he was at Hyderabad. The 2nd petitioner was also taking the 1st petitioner to dialysis procedure since November, 2016 and he has been constantly with the 1st petitioner and in some instances, has even carried him across in the hospitals on a wheel chair, when he was weak after the procedure or due to drop in hemoglobin levels.
