AB 2481/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY This is an application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. in Tezpur P.S. Case No. 697/ 2011 registered under Sections 419/420/471/336/269 of IPC read with Section 6 of the Indian Medical Degrees Act, 1916. Mr. S.C. Biswas, learned Counsel contends that the petitioner is a reco gnized practitioner of alternative medicines and accordingly he is entitled to p ractice the alternative system of treatment on his patients. But Mr. B.B. Gogoi learned Addl. Public Prosecutor on the basis of the m aterials in the case diary submits that the petitioner is also giving allopathic treatment to those visiting him and he is going beyond the treatment in alterna tive medicines. Considering the nature of the case, I am inclined to grant the benefit o f pre-arrest bail application subject to the condition(s) that the petitioner re frains from projecting himself as a qualified allopathic practitioner. The signb oard in his clinic must mention prominently that the petitioner practices only a lternative medicines. He shall also forthwith stop giving allopathic treatment, to the patients who visit him. Accordingly, if the police wish to arrest the petitioner in connection w ith the above case, on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with one local sure ty, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer, the petitioner Mazaharul Sulta n shall be allowed to go on bail subject to giving a bond in fulfilment of the above condition(s). Moreover within 7 days from today, he shall appear before th e Investigating Officer to have his statement recorded. If the petitioner violates any of the bail condition(s) and project himself as a practitioner of allopathic medicines, it will result in cancellation of the bai l privilege. The case is disposed of accordingly.
