WPMS No. 2174 of 2008 Hon'ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard Sri S.S. Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioners. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents not to interfere in practicing the medicine as Vaidya / Hakim. The writ petition itself shows that petitioners have passed degree of Vaidya from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, which is not a recognised degree. The petitioners have asserted that they were registered with the Medical Council in Bihar, as such it cannot be said that they have a right to practice in the State of Uttarakhand. The writ petition is devoid of merits. The same is dismissed in limine. (Stay Application No. 8559 of 2008 also stands dismissed). (P.C.P., J.) 19.12.2008 NS
