The Supreme Court has issued notices on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking to declare AYUSH doctors as Registered Medical Practitioners under the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954. The petitioner argues that a blanket ban on advertisements for certain diseases prevents genuine AYUSH practitioners from informing the public about their medications, hindering access to information. The court, while issuing notice, humorously commented on the petitioner's son, also a lawyer, for filing PILs.
