New Delhi: The High Court of Delhi today (July 26) adjourned the hearing on a petition filed by the Resident Doctors Association of All India Institute of Medical Science against Yoga Guru Ramdev till July 30 for his "controversial statement" on allopathy. The association has reportedly approached Delhi High Court seeking a permanent and mandatory injunction against the defendant Ramdev for his statement on allopathy. The matter was adjourned today as the single-judge bench of Justice C. Harishankar, who was hearing the matter did not sit.
The matter is heard by Justice C Hari Shankar who had earlier asked the counsel for the associations to place on record the videos pertaining to the alleged misinformation.
The associations before court are three Resident Doctors' Association of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Rishikesh, Patna and Bhubaneshwar, Association of Resident Doctors, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh, Union of Resident Doctors of Punjab (URDP); Resident Doctors' Association, Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College, Meerut and Telangana Junior Doctors' Association, Hyderabad.
They alleged that Ramdev was misleading and misrepresenting to the public at large that allopathy was responsible for the deaths of several people infected by COVID-19, and insinuating that allopathic doctors were causing deaths of the patients.
The lawyer of the association said this misinformation campaign alleging ill-effects and lack of efficacy of allopathy during the ongoing pandemic have the propensity to divert people from allopathic treatments prescribed as the standard form of care even by the Government of India, and thereby directly violates the right to health of persons in India/citizens of India, which is a facet of Article 21 of the Constitution.
