The apex court rejected the pleas (to postpone the NEET for another two years)  of central govt and other petitions filed by AP,TN&TS students. who are opposing the NEET?     All private medical&dental college owners  opposing the this radical reform(NEET) only because they would lose control of the admission process as well as the huge capitation fee racket that runs regardless of it being expressly forbidden.

Nobody has a right to openly mislead the public.   Misinformation to consumers is an offense under the CPA. Examples: WITHOUT ARRANGING  qualified duty doctor in a hospital,one can't boast of advertising or displaying  The claim of —“24 emergency services available”. if any hospital displays like that,it means that a qualified doctor and necessary facilities are available round the clock. without having  medical council recognised&registered degrees,one can't display the degrees.  some doctors used to display non &para clinical degrees (ex:M.D.Biochemistry or forensic medicine and M.S. anatomy) as clinical degrees. its also comes under breach of trust.  Every thing the doctor or hospital do,it should be transparent...to the patients(consumers),to the district health authorities and public at large.
