W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

Surgery and Gynecology Obstetrics, Anesthesiology, ENT,

Ophthalmology etc., based on the training and teaching. They made

representation to the Government to practice in the Allopathy

system of Medicine along with Homeopathy system of medicine. The

Central Council of Indian Medicine Institution notified that the

institutionally qualified practitioners of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Tibb

are eligible to practice with modern scientific medicines. However,

the Police personnels had intervened with the practitioners of

Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Tibb. They have no jurisdiction to interfere

with the exclusive practice of the Homeopathy Medicine. Therefore,

the petitioner submitted a representation not to interfere of its

members professional practice and not to take any action.

14.The case of the petitioners in W.P(MD)No.19305 of

2020 is that they are the practitioners of Electropathy system of

Medicine and registered with Naturo Electro Homeopathy Medicos of

India namely the fourth respondent. It is authorized by the

Government of India for the development, promotion and research

of Electropathy in India. The fourth respondent is issuing certificates

to the Medical practitioners those who completed their prescribed

course in Electropathy system of medicine in India. However, the

Government of Delhi issued notification stating that the fourth

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

respondent is neither recognized nor the certificates issued by the

fourth respondent is recognized by the Government of India nor the

Delhi Administration and as such, the persons, who possesses the

certificates issued by the fourth respondent are not entitled to do

any medical practice. However, it was challenged before the High

Court of Delhi and held that the fourth respondent issued

Diplomas/Certificates and holders of certificates are entitled to

practice Electropathy system of medicine. Accordingly, the first

respondent issued a notification stating that the fourth respondent

can issue Diploma/Certificate in Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy

and who possess the certificates can practice Electropathy system of

medicine. Further, as per the notification issued by the first

respondent, there is no proposal to stop the practitioners from

practicing Electropathy or imparting education. Now the

Government of India has proposed to bring a legislation to regulate

the electropathy system of medicine in India. Therefore, the

petitioners are not barred from practicing electropathy system of

medicine by any law. While being so, a Circular dated 25.09.2020

was issued by the third respondent stating that the Government of

Tamil Nadu has been taking efforts to control the spread of Covid-19

and granted permission to treat the patients by the practitioners

with certificate in Siddha, Ayurvedha, Unani, Yoga and Naturopathy

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

registered in the council for Siddha and Indian medicine. Further the

District Siddha Medical Officer shall appoint a Doctor within the

District practicing in Siddha, Yoga, Natural medicine, Ayurvedha,

Unani and Homeopathy to identify the unregistered medical

practitioners with fake certificates and notify the same to the

District Collectors and District Superintendent of Police for

appropriate action.

15.The case of the petitioner in W.P(MD)No.2778 of

2022 is that the petitioner's Institution is affiliated with Naturo

Electro Homeopathy Medicos of India, namely, the third respondent

herein. The third respondent has been authorized by the Ministry of

Health and Family Welfare, Government of India by communication

dated 17.06.1991. The petitioner's Institution is conducting

Certificate courses in Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy. The

petitioner's Institution is not conducting any Degree or Diploma

Courses. Further, as stated supra, there is no ban of conducting

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy courses and also to practice in

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy medicine. However, the sixth

respondent without jurisdiction passed order to close the Institution.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

16.Therefore, the core issue in all these Writ Petitions is

that the persons, who had undergone Electropathy/Electro

Homeopathy courses in the Institution, can practice

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy medicine and the Institutions who

taught these courses is affiliated/recognized either by the Homeo

Medical council or any of the Medical Council. Further, whether the

Naturo Electro Homeopathy Medicos of India is affiliated/recognized

by any of the Council of Medical Council of India and whether it can

issue any certificate to the person, who had undergone

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy courses.

17.On perusal of the counter-affidavit filed by the Tamil

Nadu Homeopathy Medical Council and on the submissions made by

the learned Standing Counsel would reveal that the persons who

possess Diploma in Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy are not

entitled to practice in the medicine of Electropathy/Electro

Homeopathy. The stream of Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy had

not been recognized by the Ministry of Health, Government of India

as an alternate system of medicine. Further, the Naturo Electro

Homeopathy Medicos of India is not affiliated/recognized by any

authority and anyone of the Medical Council in India. Therefore, the

issuance of certificate by the Naturo Electro Homeopathy Medicos of

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

India is not valid and the persons who possess certificate from the

Naturo Electro Homeopathy Medicos of India are not eligible to

practice in any system of medicine. After considering the matter of

recognition to various streams of alternative medicine including

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy, by the Committee constituted by

the Government of India analysed in a detailed manner and did not

recommend any of the alternative medicines except the traditional

streams of medicine in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturapathy, Unani,

Siddha and Homeopathy (Ayush). The Committee further suggested

that other unrecognized streams of medicines should not be allowed

to continue, Bachelors and Masters Degree courses and the term

Doctor should be used only by practitioners of streams of medicines

recognized by the Government of India. Thus, it is clear that

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy medicine are not recognized

streams of alternative medicine by the Government of India. That

apart, as directed by the High Court of Delhi and Allahabad, the

Government of India, by its communication dated 05.05.2010

ordered that alternative streams of medicine except Ayush are not

recognized and that conduct of Degree or Diploma courses in such

alternate streams of medicine should not be permitted in practice.

Further, the Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy is not a stream of

medicine. Further, it states that a qualified registered medical

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

practitioner, duly registered with the Medical Council, can undergo

course in Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy. It does not mean that

the person who undergone Diploma courses in Electropathy/Electro

Homeopathy can practice.

18.Further, the Government of Tamil Nadu formulated

two enactments called as the Tamil Nadu Homeopathy system of

Medicine and Practitioners of Homeopathy Act, 1971 and the Tamil

Nadu Clinical Establishments (Regulation Act 1997) (as amended by

Tamil Nadu Act 19/2018). It debars any person other than one

registered under the Act from practicing Homeopathy. Further, the

Degree or other Diploma, Licence or Certificates are equally held to

be invalid and punishable both with fine and imprisonment. Further,

as per the Amended Act, 2018 and Rules framed thereunder every

clinical establishment or clinic has to be registered under the Act

and practice in such clinical establishment or clinic can only be in

recognized streams of medicine namely Ayush. Further, the Clinical

Establishment Regulations Act is mandatory for all individual

practitioners running clinic or clinical establishment to register

themselves and practice only in the recognized stream of medicine.

The petitioner's Association and the members of the petitioner's

Association are not recognized under the Clinical Establishment

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

Regulation Act and they are not practicing any recognized stream of

medicine.

19.In fact, one of the orders by rejecting the Diploma

certificate obtained in Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy for

registration was challenged before this Court in W.P(MD)No.20217

of 2019 and this Court by order dated 25.02.2020 along with other

batch of Writ Petitions, passed an order which is reported in 2020

(1) CWC 798. The relevant portion of the order is as follows:

“15. A perusal of the above order of the first respondent makes it crystal clear that there is no proposal to stop the practice of the petitioners in electropathy, if the same is in tune with the order dated 25.11.2003. The said order dated 25.11.2003 clearly states that the first respondent did not recognize Electropathy/Electrohomeopathy and requested the State/Union Territories Governments to ensure that institutions under them do not grant any degree / diploma in the stream of medicine which have not been recommended for recognition and the term ?Doctor? is used by practitioners of recognized system of medicine.

19. It is the claim of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the Hon'ble Apex Court in the judgment dated 01.05.2018 passed in SLP (C)No.20134/2017, following the earlier order made in SLP (C)No.23572 of 2009, permitted the appellant therein to provide an alternative therapy, i.e., Electro Homeopathy, as there is no ban by any competent authority. Even in the said judgment, the Hon'ble Apex Court held that the practice in electropathy or imparting education should be done with the provisions of the order dated 25.11.2003. Since the claim of the petitioners herein is not in tune with the provisions of the order dated 25.11.2003, they are not entitled to lay their hands in the said judgment to seek similar treatment.

20. As stated above, most of the certificates produced by the petitioners in the typed set of papers, in respect of their claim of obtaining Diploma in Electro Homeopathy, are issued by some private institutions without affiliation to anyone of the statutory bodies / universities recognized by the Acts of the Parliament. The petitioners, who claimed to have undergone a diploma course in the so called alternative stream of medicine, without even verifying the genuineness of the statutory recognition, status of the institute joined the course, throws serious doubt about the genuineness in their very claim. Having obtained diplomas from such institutes, the petitioners are estopped from claiming any right either to register themselves in the roles of the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

statutory council or practice in that particular stream of medicine.

21.Though the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the Central Government is taking steps to enact laws, namely, The Electro Homeopathy System of Medicine (Recognition) Bill, and till such time, the petitioners may be permitted to practice, when this Court posed a specific question as to whether the petitioners can rely upon the provisions contained in the proposed Bill, it is admitted by him that untill the same is passed by both the House of Parliament and received the Presidential assent, they cannot.

...........

23. At this stage, it is to be stated that though all the rules and regulations are in place, there is no action taken by the authorities concerned. The authorities are accountable for not implementing the rules. The common man and aspiring students should be informed and awareness should have been created in them about the unrecognized courses.

24. In the instant case, the first respondent even in the order dated 25.11.2003 directed the State Governments and the Union Territories to ensure that the institutions under them do not grant any degree / diploma in the stream of medicine which have not been recommended for recognition. But the institute, in which, https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

the petitioners claim to have studied is able to run the three years courses for many academic years, without any action being initiated against it by the State Government. The same cannot be weighed lightly, as it caused serious prejudice to the lives of these young petitioners. In such situation, at least, now, the Central / State Governments are directed to take immediate action against such bogus institutes and have a serious check on these issues without any further delay, in accordance with law.”

20.Based on the directions issued by this Court, the

Government of Tamil Nadu by its communication dated 07.09.2020

issued instructions to all the District Collectors and Superintendent

of Police to initiate stringent action against the institutions which

conduct Diploma course in Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy and

the persons those who practice the stream of medicine based on the

unapproved diploma course. Accordingly, the orders impugned in

some of the Writ Petitions were issued and directed the Institution

to close the same. Further, in pursuant to the direction some of the

organizers filed some Writ Petitions by individually and also by their

Association to forbear the respondents from taking action.

21.On perusal of the counter-affidavit filed by the

Government of India also revealed that the request for recognition

of Naturo Electro Homeopathy Medicos of India was rejected.

Therefore, the Government of India stated that permission cannot

be granted to practice in the system of Electropathy/Electro

Homeopathy medicine which is not recognized by the Government

of India.

22.Even then, the petitioner's Institution in W.P(MD)No.

2778 of 2022 conducted Certificate/Diploma Courses in alternative

stream of medicine of Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy and issued

certificates. The persons, who completed the certificate/Diploma

courses and on the strength of the certificates issued by the

Institution were practicing the medicine of Electropathy/Electro

Homeopathy. The Naturo Electro Homeopathy Medicos of India itself

is not an authenticated statutory body to provide affiliation to run

institutions to impart the education of Electropathy/Electro

Homeopathy. It has no legal affirmation and the certificates issued

by it has no legal validity. Further, it is also revealed from the

communication dated 12.10.2018 issued by the Tamil Nadu

Homeopathy Medical Council that the Electropathy system of

medicine itself does not stand recognized by the Central

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

Government of India. Therefore, the question of authorizing or

recognizing anybody, in whatsoever name or form to impart

education/conduct courses in this system, may not arise.

23.Mr.Saravana, learned senior counsel submitted that

when there is no ban to impart education in the medical stream of

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy and there is no ban on practice of

Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy, no action can be taken against

the persons who practice Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy

medicine.

24.A person can practice only the system of medicine

for which he/she has a degree/recognized qualification under the

concerned Medical Council of India. The Medical Council of India

crossed 1.1.3 prohibits the allopathic practitioners to prescribe

Ayurvedic or Homeopathic drugs. Further, no person other than a

Doctor having qualification recognized by the Medical Council of

India and registered with Medical Council of India/State Medical

Council is allowed practice Modern system of Medicine or surgery.

Likewise the Government forbids the Doctors of Ayush system of

medicine from prescribing/administering Allopathic medicine.

Therefore, who are qualified and registered in the Indian System of

W.P(MD)Nos.10041 of 2017, 4366 of 2019, 19605 of 2020, 19389 of 2021, 2588 of 2021, 6140 of 2021, 2778 of 2022, 3068 of 2022, 4022 of 2022 & 4072 of 2022

Medicine, they are only allowed to practice the system of medicine

on which they have been entitled. Further, they are also not eligible

to practice other system of medicine other than the registered

qualification of theirs. The person who registered in Ayush council

can only practice the system of medicines which comes under the

control of Ayush and they cannot practice Allopathy, if registered

with Ayush council.

25.Therefore, the members of the petitioner in

W.P(MD)No.10041 of 2017 cannot practice allopathy system of

medicine as a matter of right, but its members are entitled only to

practice Homeopathy and licence has also been issued to that effect

only. That apart, on receipt of the representation from the

petitioner's Association in W.P(MD)No.10041 of 2017, the same was

considered by the authority concerned and directed the police

personnel not to harass the genuine, qualified, registered

Homeopathy Doctors and the same was also duly communicated to

it. If any bogus medical practitioners are practicing without any valid

licence, they are liable to be punished and if any complaints

received by the police, therefore, it is open to the police authorities

to take appropriate action on receipt of the said complaint.

26.In view of the above, all the Writ Petitions are devoid

of merits and the same are liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, all

these Writ Petitions are dismissed. There shall be no order as to

costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
