SRI.I.V.PROMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/12/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.31119 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 6th day of December, 2006. JUDGMENT While the allegation of the petitioners is that 4th respondent is practising modern medicine without qualification, Government Pleader reported that Police conducted thorough enquiry and it was found that 4th respondent is practising only in Ayurveda medicine. His wife is stated to be a medical doctor and a Gynaecologist practising modern medicine. Moreover, W.P. is not filed in public interest but to serve personal interest of petitioners who are competitors in the field of medicine. In the circumstances, I do not think petitioner is entitled to the relief sought for. The W.P. is devoid of any merit and is dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
