AYUSH doctors can practice allopathy, but no exclusive practice of allopathy : Madras High Court

Chennai : Quashing a criminal proceeding against a homeopathic doctor for practicing allopathy, Madras High Court has held that institutionally qualified AYUSH practitioners are eligible to practice allopathy along with their respective system of medicine. The court further added that the AYUSH practitioners are barred from practicing allopathic medicine exclusively. The court relied on the state government circular dated October 15, 2010 which allowed the AYUSH doctors to practice allopathy with a rider that they were not allowed to do exclusive allopathic practice.
