Ernakulam: In a recent ruling, a Division bench of Kerala High Court comprising Dr Justice AK Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Preeta A clarified that the practice of Electro-Homeopathy is not unregulated and it is regulated by the provisions of the Travancore-Cochin Medical Practitioners Act, 1953 and the Kerala State Medical Practitioners Act, 2021.

"While a citizen is guaranteed a fundamental right to practice any profession or to carry out any occupation, trade or business, that right is by no means absolute in nature. It is subject to laws regulating professional qualification and conduct that are enacted with a view to balancing the rights of the professional concerned with the right to life and proper healthcare of persons who receive medical care and treatment," the bench noted.

"The upshot of the above discussion is that we allow this Writ Appeal, by dismissing the writ petition and declaring that the practice of Electro-Homeopathy is indeed regulated by the provisions of the Travancore-Cochin Medical Practitioners Act, 1953 and the Kerala State Medical Practitioners Act, 2021, as applicable," it further observed.
