**Telangana High Court Dismisses FIRs Against Ayurvedic Doctors Practicing Allopathic Medicine**

**Hyderabad, Telangana – September 16, 2025:** The Telangana High Court has dismissed First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against three Ayurvedic doctors holding Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) degrees, who were accused of practicing allopathic medicine. Justice N. Tukaramji delivered the verdict on Tuesday, stating that while the Telangana Medical Registrar (TMC) possesses the authority to take action against Ayurvedic practitioners engaging in allopathic medicine, it does not have the power to directly lodge complaints with the police.

The case originated from surprise inspections conducted by the TMC on May 10th at clinics run by the three doctors in Sangareddy and Cyberabad. Inspectors alleged that the doctors were prescribing allopathic drugs, administering intravenous fluids, and giving injections. This prompted the TMC to file FIRs, citing sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council Rules.

The Ayurvedic doctors argued that their medical practices fall under the section 17(3)(b) of the Indian Medicine Central Council Act and associated notifications issued in 1996 and 2017 which allows them to practice modern scientific medicine to a limited extent. They asserted they had never represented themselves as MBBS doctors, and that the TMC’s complaints were intended to suppress Ayush practitioners and monopolise the practice of allopathic medicine.

The court agreed with the petitioners’ arguments, ruling that only the AYUSH Commissioner is the competent authority to lodge complaints in these types of cases. The ruling has sparked debate within the medical community, raising questions about the permissible scope of practice for Ayurvedic doctors and the regulatory oversight of alternative medicine in Telangana.
