Is it a fair catch?

[sillypoint]

Law32.3.e clearly states that a catch is allowed if the ball has previously touch "THE other batsman" (my emphasis). The quite specific wording here led me to wonder recently what the intention of the lawmakers may have been if the ball rebounded off either (1) a runner acting for an injured striker, or (2) an injured batsman who is currently out of the play.
What do you think?

Certainly I'd give that out. If I needed a justification beyond Law 43, 32.3(g) regarding a catch being valid off an obstruction within the boundary would do nicely.
