Status of Electro Homoeopathy | | Contd.. |
| In
1984 a press statement was issued by Registrar, Societies, Firms and Chit saying
that all the institutions of Electro Homoeopathy were running illegally and action
will be taken against them. This forced National University of Electro Complex
Homoeopathy to file a Special Leave Petition No.11837 in Supreme Court of India
against the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and U.P. Govt. etc to accord
recognition to Electro Homoeopathy under Article 14,19(i)g and 21 of Constitution
of India and also requested the Hon'ble Supreme Court to forbid the government
agencies from interfering in their affairs, in the year 1985. The said Writ
Petition was heard on 26.09.1986 by the Hon'ble Chief Justice Sri. P.N. Bhagwati
and another. After hearing the arguments the Hon'ble Chief Justice admitted the
Writ Petition and issued notice to the Union of India to file thier reply in 30
days and instructed them not to interfere in the affairs of National University
and its affiliated colleges. Instead of filing their reply the Union Ministry
of Health and Family Welfare constituted a five member Inquiry Committee on 1.09.1988
and asked the committee to give its recommendations on the terms of reference
for recognition of Electro Homoeopathy in three months. But the committee took
almost three years in submitting its report. Since the report was ambiguous,
the Deputy Health Minister Hon'ble Sri Dasai Chowdhary constituted a Expert committee
and directed the committee to submit its report within three months. In the report
submitted by the Expert committee, it was clearly mentioned that Electro Homoeopathy
was being practiced all over the world, it had its own pharmacopoea and sufficient
literature was available. Meanwhile, Sri Dasai Chowdahry, Deputy Health Minister
issued a D.O. recommending the recognition of Electro Homoepathy by Union Ministry
of Health.(2
