promotion of AYUSH as practitioners of allopathy;  imposition of statutory obligation of providing treatment to patients as per section 12(2) of the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010, without any provision for payment for services rendered as proposed in the Report no. 201 submitted in 2006 by the Law Commission of India titled as — ‘Medical Treatment after Accidents and During Emergency Medical Condition and Women in Labour;  involvement of the NBE (National Board of Examinations), meant for medical super-specialties, in the BSc (Community Health) course even though the MCI thought it fit to keep itself out of this flawed scheme;  compulsory rural service before admission to PG medical courses;  proposed increase in duration of internship to two years by adding one year specifically for rural service;  quackery.

An important Delhi High court order dated 14-2-14 regarding quackery.  In      CRL.A. 577/2013 and Crl.M.(Bail)No.1874/2013 in which the appellant, Riyazuddin, is apparently a hakim practicing allopathy and is in jail for the crime of medical negligence under apparently 304A, IPC.    in this context, IMA maharashtra & IMA H.Q. should  file a WP against Maharashtra government praying the Hon'ble HC to quash Gazette Notification dated 25-11-1992 which allows vaids and hakims to practice allopathy. Definitely this recent order will support such a WP in addition to various other legal supports available.
