All Kerala Homeopathic Association v. the Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
This court disposed of multiple writ petitions challenging a medical practitioners ordinance. The court held that since the Kerala State Medical Practitioners Act, 2021 was published in the Gazette on 14.11.2021, surviving grievances must be directed at the Act itself, and thus closed the petitions.
What did the court decide?
Petitions closed with observation to challenge the published Act if grievances persist.
