What is this about?

The Court dismissed writ petitions seeking exemption from registration under the Travancore Cochin Medical Practitioners’ Act, 1953. Relying on Supreme Court and Division Bench precedents, it held that the proviso to Section 38 of the 1953 Act was repugnant to the Central Act, 1970 and unconstitutional. Government orders granting such exemptions were quashed.

[WP(C) Nos.8301/2015, 10651/2018, 1012/2015, 12619/2016, 18495/2016, 27540/2016, 27546/2016, 28303/2017, 32233/2016, 32971/2017]

¶192

The petitioners in these cases have approached this Court stating that they are entitled to an order exempting them from registration under the Travancore Cochin Medical Practitioners’ Act, 1953 (in short ‘ the Act’) under the proviso to Section 38 of the said Act.

¶193

The learned Government Pleader and the learned counsel appearing for the Travancore Cochin Medical Council would submit that the issue raised in these writ petitions is covered against the petitioners by the judgment of the Supreme Court in Kerala Ayurveda Paramparya Vaidya Forum v. State of Kerala and Others [2018(3) KHC 185]. Thereafter, a Division Bench of this Court in the judgment in Central Council of Indian Medicine and Others v. State of Kerala and Others [2020 KHC 759], held as follows:-

¶194

WP(C) NO. 8301 OF 2015 & CONNECTED CASES

¶195

¶196

Therefore, it is clear that the question with respect to the powers of the State Government to grant exemption under the Act, 1953 vis-a-vis the provisions of the Central Act, 1970 was considered by the Apex Court also taking into account the judgment of the Apex Court in Dr. A.K. Sabhapathy (supra), and held that unless and until a qualified practitioner secures registration under the provisions of the Act, 1970 they are not entitled to practice the Indian system of Medicine or they are entitled to register their names in the appropriate Registers after the commencement of the Central Act, 1970 otherwise than as provided under the Central Act, 1970. According to us, the clear cut findings entered by the Apex Court in Dr. A.K. Sabhapathy (supra) and the Kerala Ayurveda Paramparya Vaidya Forum (supra) make it clear that the issues now raised in the writ petitions are settled finally and therefore, the State Government is not empowered to grant any exemption invoking the first proviso to Section 38 of the Travancore-Cochin Medical Practitioners Act, 1953 and permit practice otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Central Council Act 1970, r/w with the relevant provisions of the Act 1953. Since the Apex Court in Kerala Ayurveda Paramparya Vaidya Forum has followed the proposition of law in Dr. A.K. Sabhapathy, we are of the clear opinion that the first proviso to Section 38

¶197

WP(C) NO. 8301 OF 2015 & CONNECTED CASES

¶198

¶199

of the Act, 1953 is repugnant to the provisions of Section 17 of the Central Act, 1970. We are also of the opinion that the Central Act, 1970 was brought into force in order to maintain the minimum standards for admission, duration of courses of training, details of the curricula and syllabi of studies and the title of degree or diploma varying from State to State and even from Institution to Institution in the same State and the statutory Central Council was constituted after conducting an in depth study by the Government of India relating to the Indian system of medicine and homeopathy. The main functions of the Central Council is to involve uniform standards of education and registration of the practitioners of the Indian system of Medicine and Homoeopathy and the Central Council was empowered to form separate committees for ayurveda, siddha, unani and homeopathy and the registration of the practitioners was made compulsory on the Central Register of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy to ensure that the medicine is not practised by those who are not qualified in the Indian systems of Medicine and those who practice, observe the Code of Ethics in the profession. It was specifying the above that the bill was introduced and the Central Act, 1970 was constituted. Even though we find that the Government of India have addressed various communications to the Secretary to Government,

¶200

WP(C) NO. 8301 OF 2015 & CONNECTED CASES

¶201

¶202

Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Kerala to make suitable alterations in the Register, which communications are produced along with W.P. (C) No. 21419 of 2009 filed by the Central Council of Indian Medicine, no effective steps were taken to make suitable amendments in the Act, 1953 to avoid conflict with the Central Act, 1970. However, the State Government has chosen to issue Government Orders specified above granting exemption from registration, thus, permitting the traditional practitioners of ayurveda to practice ayurveda without the qualifications prescribed under the law and registration in terms of law. Therefore, we have no hesitation to hold that the action of the State Government in granting exemption invoking the powers conferred under the first proviso to Section 38 to traditional Ayurveda practitioners has no legal sustenance, and further the 1st proviso to Section 38 of the Act, 1953 being repugnant to section 17( 2) of the Central Act, 1970 is unconstitutional.

¶203

to 41……………………………………………………………….

¶204

Taking into account all the above legal aspects, we are of the considered opinion that the orders issued by the State Government with respect to exemption from registration by invoking the powers conferred under the first proviso to Section 38 of the Act, 1953 is

¶205

WP(C) NO. 8301 OF 2015 & CONNECTED CASES

¶206

¶207

repugnant to the provisions of the Central Act, 1970 as is discussed above and therefore, the same is unconstitutional. So also, the Government Orders issued providing registration to the unqualified practitioners of Naturopathy and other alternative medicines are in conflict with the provisions of the Central Act, 1970 and the order of the Government of India and the guidelines specified above, and therefore, unconstitutional and the same are also liable to be quashed. Accordingly, 1) the State Government Orders issued exempting registration for unqualified ayurveda practitioners are quashed; 2) the State Government Orders discussed above issued for registration of unqualified practitioners of Naturopaths and other alternative medicines also will stand quashed; and 3) the first proviso to section 38 of the Travancore- Cochin Medical Practitioners Act 1953 is declared Unconstitutional and therefore struck down.

¶208

The learned counsel appearing for the Travancore Cochin Medical Councils would submit that the provisions of the Travancore Cochin Medical Practitioners’ Act, 1953 have now been repealed by the Kerala State Medical Practitioners Act, 2021 and in the 2021 Act there is no provision akin to the first proviso to Section 38 of the Act.

¶211

Taking into consideration of the above submissions and having regard to the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Kerala Ayurveda Paramparya Vaidya Forum (supra) and by the Division Bench of this Court in Central Council of Indian Medicine (supra), these writ petitions are dismissed.
