10.W.P(MD)No.4072 of 2022 has been filed by the petitioner challenging the order passed by the seventh respondent dated 05.01.2022 thereby locked and sealed the petitioner's premises.
11.The issue in all the Writ Petitions is one and the same and as such, this Court passes the common order in all the Writ Petitions.
12.Some of the Writ Petitions have been filed by the Association, some of the Writ Petitions have been filed by individual person, who is running the Institution for Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy and some of the Writ Petitions have been filed by the individual practitioner, who is practicing Electropathy/Electro Homeopathy.
13.The members of the petitioner in W.P(MD)No.10041 of 2017 are qualified with B.H.M.S Degree awarded by the Tamil Nadu Dr.M.G.R Medical University, Chennai. They had also enrolled as a registered Medical Practitioner and they are eligible to practice respective systems with modern scientific medicine including https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 21/43 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 22/43 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 23/43 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 24/43 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 25/43 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 26/43 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 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 27/43 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.
..........
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 28/43 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
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 29/43 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 30/43 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. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 31/43 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
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 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 32/43 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 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 33/43 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. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 34/43 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
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.
