Mr. Kshirsagar states that this application was admitted by this court way back in the year 1992 and by precise on 30th Jun, 1992. The trial in pursuance of the complaint at annexure "B", has been stayed by this Court. 2. At the relevant time the petitioner had obtained a degree i.e. Bachelor in Electropathy Medicine and surgery. On the basis of registration granted by a Society in his favour he has commenced practice. [2] However, after this application was admitted and interim order has been granted and even prior there to the applicant has stopped his practice. He has no interest in commencing the said practice and in any event, until the issuance of registration/recognition is decided by appropriate authorities. The applicant is in tailoring business and operating from some distinct premises in Bhiwandi. 3. Shri Kshirsagar brings to my notice the Judgment of this Court reported in 2001 (4) Mah. L.J. 553 2001 (4) Mah. L.J. 553 2001 (4) Mah. L.J. 553 (Electropathy Medicos of India V. State of Maharashtra (Electropathy Medicos of India V. State of Maharashtra (Electropathy Medicos of India V. State of Maharashtra and others). and others). and others). This court held that the Course of e Course of e Course of Electropathy/Electro Homoeopathy is not Electropathy/Electro Homoeopathy is not Electropathy/Electro Homoeopathy is not recognised under any statutory enactments and therefore, the State Government has rightly directed the institution to stop the Courses which were conducted by it. Shri Kshirsagar states that Electropathy System of Medicine (Recognition) Bill 1988, is sought to be introduced way back in 1988. However, it is clear that till date there is no recognition granted to this system of medicine. 4. Be that as it may, in the light of the statement of Shri Kshirsagar that the applicant has stopped the [3] practice in 1991 itself and closed down the dispensary, so also trial being stayed for last more than 14 years, without entering into any larger controversy it would be appropriate, if proceedings are quashed. 5. Thus, only in the peculiar facts of this case and in the light of the statement made in presence of the petitioner by Shri Kshirsagar, that the proceedings against the applicant in pursuance to the complaint at annexure "B" are quashed. The Rule is made absolute in terms of the interim order granted by this court. It is needless to clarify that this order would not be treated as precedent in any other case. ( S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
