Homeopaths vs allopaths: HC backs former, but with riders

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday refused to stay the registration of the eligible homoeopaths with the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC), which will allow them to practice allopathy.

A bench of Justices Riyaz Chagla and Farhan Dubash, however, clarified that all registrations will remain "subject to the final outcome" of the main petitions.

The order came a day after the court passed oral observation that it's not inclined to stay the registration. However, on Wednesday, the court added caveats, asking homeopaths "not to transgress their competency, refer serious patients to their allopathic counterparts and adhere strictly to the scope of practice defined by the MMC".
