A petition filed in the Supreme Court seeks to update the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954. The plea argues that AYUSH doctors should be recognized as 'registered medical practitioners' under the Act. It contends that the current law, which prohibits advertisements for certain diseases, unfairly restricts AYUSH practitioners and limits public information about available treatments, urging for a review to align with modern scientific developments.
