In the judgment passed on March 31, by the Madras High Court it was stated that only a registered medical practitioner honored by the MCI is entitled to give medical care. Justice M Dhandapani dismissed writ petitions filed by petitioner seeking orders to help the health department from snooping with their conventions.
The petitioner Ganesan had completed a deploma course in community medical services and elder care and stated that he and his co-worker were running primary health locus and community health clinic in Pollachi district . He farther submitted he was facing constant harassment from the State authorities.
The State government argued that unless the MCI or the AYUSH Department had approved the qualification of the pleaders, they couldn’t exercise drug or run a clinic.
“ Without recommendations from the MCI or AYUSH , the suppliants are not authorised to run a clinic anywhere in Tamil Nadu. thus, the calls made in the writ can not be considered, and the relief sought can not be granted, ” Justice Dhandapani stated. “
