Repeal. SCHEDULE. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 35 of 1961.- With the exception of the Bombay Homœopathic Act, 1951 (Bombay Act XLVIII of 1951) as in force in the Bombay area, there is no law regulating the practice of the Homœopathic system of medicine in Mysore State. The practitioners and associations of this system of medicine have been agitating for their statutory recognition. It is also considered expedient to have a uniform law for regulation of the practice and education of the Homœopathic system of medicine in the State of Mysore. Hence this Act. (Obtained from notification 346 LA dated 9th April, 1960 in the relevent file.) II Act 9 of 1969.—The First Board of the Homoeopathic System of Medicine as required by section 3 of the Mysore Homoeopathic Practitioners Act, 1961, has not been established, as the first Register of the Registered Practitioners has not yet been prepared. Pending such constitution it is considered necessary to provide for a machinery to recognise colleges so that institutions of Homoeopathic System of Medicine may not be handicapped. Hence the Act. (Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 12th December 1968 at page 55) III Act 14 1972.—According to sub-section (1) of section 5 of the Mysore Homoeopathic Practitioners Act, 1961, elections to the Mysore Board of Homoeopathic System of Medicine have to be held at such time and place as may be prescribed. The electorate consists of practitioners all over the State and it would not be practicable for all of them to meet at one place. Hence was not possible to hold the elections. In order to obviate the difficulty it was proposed to take steps to conduct elections by postal ballot. As neither the Mysore Legislature Assembly nor the Mysore Legislative Council was in session, the Mysore Homoeopathic Practitioners (Amendment) Ordinance, 1972 (Mysore Ordinance No. 3 of 1972) was promulgated by the Governor. 3 This Act is intended to replace the said Ordinance. (Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 22nd November 1972 as No. 554. at page. 3.) IV Act 8 of 1976.—As per sub-section (1) of section 16 of the Karnataka Homoeopathic Act, 1961 the Director of Health and Family Planning Services shall be the Chairman of the Court of Examiner for conducting examinations in Homoeopathy in this State. Similarly under section 37-A of the Act, the Director of Health and Family Planning Services shall be the Chairman of the Karnataka Homoeopathic Committee. A separate Department of Indian Medicine has been created on a permanent basis and a post of Director of Indian Systems of Medicine and Homoeopathic has also been sanctioned in the grade of Rs. 1,300–1,800. Since Homoeopathic comes under the administrative control of the Department of Indian Systems of Medicines and Homoeopathy, it is appropriate to appoint the Director, Indian Systems of Medicine and Homoeopathy as the Chairman of the Court of Examiners for conducting examinations in Homoeopathy and as the Chairman of the Karnataka Homoeopathic Committee. In view of the aforesaid, the Karnataka Homoeopathic Practitioners (Amendment) Ordinance, 1975 was issued. This Act is to replace the said ordinance. (Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A dated 22 January 1976 at page. 23–24.) V Act 34 of 1979.—In section 6 of the Karnataka Homoeopathic practitioner Act, 1961 the term of the office of the Members whether elected or nominated shall be for a period of 5 years commencing from the dates on which the first meeting of the Board is held after the election of member under section 3 of the Act. If a member has committed grave irregularity or misconduct, then the member has to be removed in the interest of the Institution/Board. For this purpose it is necessary to amend the Act to make provision to remove such member from the office. It is also considered necessary to enhance the registration fee and renewal fee payable under the said Act to Rs. 30 and Rs. 10 respectively. Hence this Act. (Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 16th May 1979 as No. 472 at page. 3.) VI Act 13 of 1992.—The existing provision of the Karnataka Homoeopathic Practitioner Act, 1961 provides for electing four members from among the practitioners whose names are entered in Part ‘A’ of the register and two from among the practitioners whose names are entered in Part ‘B’ of the register. The number of members to be so elected is considered to be disproportionate to the number of practitioners registered respectively in part ‘A’ and ‘B’ and so it is proposed to make a provision for electing six members from the practitioners registered in Part ‘A’ and Part ‘B’ grouped together. Hence the Act. (Obtained from L.A. Bill No. 1 of 1992). 4 VII Amending Act 33 of 2012.- It is considered necessary to amend the Karnataka Homoeopathic Practitioners Act, 1961 (Karnataka Act 35 of 1961) to provide,- (i) for revision of membership fees, life time fees for registration of Practitioners of the Homoeopathic system of medicine in the State; (ii) a provision to validate the collection of levy of life time fee, any renewal fee and collection of enhanced fee from the Homoeopathic Practitioners by the State Government and the Board. Hence, the Bill. [L.A. Bill No.26 of 2012, File No. Samvyashae 34 Shasana 2012] [Entry 32 and 66 of List II of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India.] * * * * 5 1[KARNATAKA]1 ACT No. 35 OF 1961 (First published in the 1[Karnataka Gazette]1 on the Thirtieth day of December, 1961.)
