THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.19870 of 2006 Between: Dr.P.Someswar Rao. .. PETITIONER and The Government of Andhra Pradesh and others. .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 1st respondent in not allowing the petitioner to undertake medical treatments and surgeries under the Janani Sukhibhava programme and child health programme, even though he is a practitioner of Indian System of Medicine (Ayurveda), as illegal and arbitrary. A counter has been field on behalf of the 3rd respondent stating that he never interfered with the medical treatments and surgeries undertaken by the petitioner. It is stated that so far no complaint has been lodged against the petitioner. Therefore, the question of interference does not arise. However, the 3rd respondent is not the competent authority to decide whether Ayurvedic Doctor is eligible to undertake surgeries or not. In view of the categorical denial of all the allegations made by the petitioner, I am of the opinion that no orders need be passed in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 07-08-2007 Prv
