The Supreme Court decided on Monday to examine a plea by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) against a Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) order authorising post-graduate practitioners in specified streams of Ayurveda to be trained to perform surgical procedures.
A Bench led by Chief Justice Sharad A. Bobde issued notice to the Ministry of Ayush, CCIM and National Medical Commission.
The IMA has moved the top court to quash the amendment to CCIM regulations. It argued that CCIM did not have the powers to include surgery in Ayurveda syllabus.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from Central Council of Indian Medicine on a petition filed by Indian Medical Association challenging a recent decision by the former allowing Ayurveda practitioners to carry out certain surgical procedures terming the decision as one that would play havoc with the health of millions.
Senior advocate Maninder Singh did not have to labour hard to convince a bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian to issue notice to CCIM.
However, when he sought a stay on the operation of the CCIM s 2020 modification of rules permitting Indian medicine practitioners from carrying out surgery, solicitor general Tushar Mehta stepped in and said that the government has substantial grounds to defend the CCIM rules.
