Aruna is clearly not in coma
- Aruna accepts the food in normal course and responds by
facial expressions. She responds to commands intermittently by making
sounds. She makes sounds when she has to pass stool and urine which the
nursing staff identifies and attends to by leading her to the toilet.
- Thus, there was some variance between the allegations
in the writ petition and the counter affidavit of KEM Hospital. Supreme
Court, by order dated 24 January, 2011 appointed a team of three very
distinguished doctors of Mumbai to examine Aruna thoroughly and submit a
report about her physical and mental condition.
- The committee after thorough examination given the
opinion that she has evidence of intact auditory, visual, somatic and
motor primary neural pathways. However no definitive evidence for
awareness of auditory, visual, somatic and motor stimuli was observed
during our examinations.
- On perusal of the report of the committee of three
doctors the honorable SC noted that there are many technical terms which
have been used therein which a non–medical man would find it difficult to
understand. We, therefore, request the doctors to submit a supplementary
report by the next date of hearing in which the meaning of these technical
terms in the report is also explained.
