Moreover it was argued that, many allopathic drugs including antibiotics are necessary part of treatment/surgeries, which the said practitioners are not being able to prescribe in the wake of the high court judgement in delhi
However, considering the current scenario of medical practise in mind the Chief Justice of India, hon'ble Justice TS Thakur, who is hearing the matter did not seem much convinced with the argument, even remarking.
“How many of you would go to an Ayurvedacharya for a surgery?”

Next hearing is on coming monday
