Maharashtra puts the CCMP certification/registration process for registered homoeopathic medical practitioners seeking limited modern (allopathy) practice on hold pending the Bombay High Court’s final decision and further government directions. The pause is communicated to the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC), with the state stating that issuing the relevant certificates will be appropriate only after the current situation settles, the procedure is finalised, and the court delivers its final order.
The decision follows sustained agitation, including protests and a strike, led by medical and professional groups that oppose the CCMP move. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) and Central MARD raise concerns about patient safety, professional standards, and how modern medicine is practised by CCMP-trained practitioners. Some reports also indicate the High Court is examining legal questions related to the Maharashtra law that allows CCMP-trained homoeopaths to practise allopathy. Times of India focuses on the government pause and the linkage to the ongoing hearing, while the Free Press Journal details the government’s communication and the associations’ stated objections.
