The Madras High Court authorized the wife of a comatose patient to sell his property for medical expenses. The court appointed her as the guardian, allowing her to manage the property and use the proceeds for the patient’s care. The decision was made under the court’s writ jurisdiction, in absence of statutory remedy for such cases.
