Supreme Court Plea Challenges 1954 Law on Drug Advertisements, Seeks AYUSH Doctor Inclusion

A Supreme Court plea seeks an expert committee to update the 1954 Drugs and Magic Remedies Act, which controls drug advertisements. The petitioner argues the Act's ban on advertising remedies for certain diseases, particularly under Section 3(d), unfairly restricts AYUSH doctors. The plea requests AYUSH practitioners be recognized as 'registered medical practitioners' under Section 2(cc) of the Act, aiming to allow them to advertise the existence of their medications for serious ailments.
