No relief for ayurvedic doctor practicing allopathy: Madras HC

The charges of practising allopathy was attributed to him, after a senior resident medical officer of Srivilliputhur Government Hospital, Selvabaskar made an inspection of his premises on January 10, 2015, and it was found by the investigator that he was in possession of allopathic medicine without any proper qualification for practising allopathy.

Tamil Nadu: In a major setback to an Ayurveda practitioner caught practising allopathy, the High Court of Madurai has decided to dismiss his plea of quashing the court trial considering his case.

According to the recent media reports, the Ayurvedic practitioner was charged for illegally prescribing allopathic medicine without any valid license. A case was lodged against him in Virudhunagar district in 2015 for the same reason; however, the doctor approached before the trial court with his petition to squash the proceedings of the case.

The petitioner made his request to the Madurai bench of High Court in 2006 stating his reason for quashing the criminal proceedings. He stated that he is an Ayurvedic medical practitioner and has a valid license issued by the Tamilnadu Board of Indian medicine. He also added that he is also the owner of a medical shop and he has a viable license that allows him to sell allopathic medicine and practice cross pathy, hence, for him acquiring allopathic medicine is not an illegal act, reports TOI.

The charges of practising allopathy was attributed to him, after a senior resident medical officer of Srivilliputhur Government Hospital, Selvabaskar made an inspection of his premises on January 10, 2015, and it was found by the investigator that he was in possession of allopathic medicine without any proper qualification for practising allopathy.

Accordingly, the said medicines were seized by the authority from his premises. The police submitted their final reports to Srivilliputhur judicial magistrate (JM) II court.

On the doctor pleading not guilty, the HC justice G Jayachandran found that the Ayurvedic doctor does not have any proper license registered under the Medical Council of India. According to the Indian Medical Council act, each of the doctors is supposed to have their license registered under the MCI.

The judges also found that the certificate issued by the Tamil Nadu Board of Indian Medicine only allows him to practice Ayurveda and not Allopathy.

Consequently, the bench rejected his petition of withdrawing the trial. Trial proceedings will be initiated against him under section 15(3) of Indian Medical Council act and section 336 and 420 of IPC.
