Mr.G.S.Gill,Addl.Advocate General) Mr.N.K.Maloo ) Mr.S.K.Sharma for Mr.K.K.Sharma )-for respondents. Heard learned counsel for the parties. This PIL application pertains to identify the fake doctors practising in all over State of Rajasthan. The matter is being monitored right from 2004 and from time to time, necessary directions were issued to the State authorities and also to the writ petitioner to cooperate in identifying the fake doctors practising in the State of Rajasthan. In compliance thereto, as it appears from the preceding orders, some of the fake doctors were identified and criminal cases were lodged against them. Two compliance reports however have been submitted by the State authorities, which have been brought on record showing that it is on going process and several fake doctors have been identified by now and FIRs have been lodged against them. In compliance of the preceding orders of this Court in this regard, sufficient steps have been taken by the State authorities to get rid of fake doctors practising in unauthorized manner in the State of Rajasthan. 2 The process to identify fake doctors, in our view, is on going process and it requires full cooperation of the public at large to identify such doctors. In case any report is made by public in this regard, the State authorities would immediately come into action and take appropriate steps to eliminate such fake doctors from the society. Mr.Gill, learned Addl. Advocate General appearing on behalf of the State assures the court that appropriate steps would be taken and in due course of time, the State authorities would be able to get rid of such doctors. At the same time, the State authorities should also exercise caution in not harassing genuine doctors, who are practising privately having requisite qualifications and license from the Medical Council, keeping in view the guidelines issued by Apex Court from time to time particularly in the case of Subhasis Bakshi and ors. V/s West Bengal Medical Council and ors. (2003) 9 SCC 269. In view of the aforesaid circumstances as noticed above, in our view, this PIL application need not proceed any more. It is accordingly consigned to records. However, in case any deficiency is found on the part of State authorities in allowing such doctors, the interested persons will be at liberty to raise such questions again before this Court.
