CHANDMAL JAIN Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE matter came up today for consideration of service of notice on the respondent issued by a Co -ordinate Bench of this Court on 13th February, 2014. As per office report, notices have not returned back after service and are still awaited.

(2.) ALTHOUGH , it was not desirable for this Court to examine the subject -matter of the case, at this stage, but, while considering the afflictions of the petitioner, it was revealed that the degrees of "Ayurved Ratna" and "Vaidya Visharad" obtained by the petitioner from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Prayag are, prima facie, spurious and under serious cloud. In that background, the matter was examined on merits and the counsel for the petitioner was called upon to address on merits of the case.

(3.) I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, perused the averments contained in the writ petition and the documents annexed with the writ petition. The main issue, which has cropped up in the instant case, requiring judicial scrutiny is the qualification of the petitioner viz., Ayurved Ratna and Vaidya Visharad, which he has obtained from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Prayag. The concern of the Court is to ascertain whether these qualifications are recognized qualifications in Schedule -II to the Indian Medicine Central Council Act, 1970 (for short, 'the Act of 1970') giving right to an individual to practice in medical sciences.
