Borah, learned Standing Counsel, Health Department. 2. The petitioners 609 in numbers have approached this Court with common causes of actions seeking certain directions to the respondents. The petitioners had all been enrolled in the course namely “Diploma course in Medicine and Rural Health Care” under the erstwhile “Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004” (hereinafter referred to as the Act of 2004). They had enrolled in different batches and have successfully completed the “Diploma course in Medicine and Rural Health Care” and were enrolled as “Community Health Professionals” under the “Assam Community Health Professionals (Registration & Competency) Act 2015” (hereinafter referred to as the Act of 2015). The Act of 2004 was notified by the Government of Assam in the year 2004 and under the said Act, a medical course namely “Diploma course in Page No.# 101/180 Medicine and Rural Health Care” was introduced and the same was to be conducted in an institute to be established by the Government which subsequently the Government by notification established the institution namely “Medical Institute” at Jorhat, Assam, which institute was affiliated to Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences. The status of the said course namely Diploma course in Medicine and Rural Health Care was medical and its duration was three and half years (six months internship). The syllabus of the course includes (i) Anatomy, (ii) Physiology, (iii) Biochemistry, (iv) Community Medicine, (v) Microbiology, (vi) Pathology, (vii) Pharmacology, (viii) Medicine, (ix) Obstetrics & Gynecology, (x) Ophthalmology, (xi) Orthopedics, (xii) ENT, (xiii) Pediatrics, (xiv) Psychiarty, (xv) Surgery and (xvi) Internship. Pursuant to the Act being notified, the Government of Assam issued the first advertisement in the year 2005 inviting applications for admission into the said course. The said advertisement was issued by the Director of Medical Education, Assam. It is the case of the petitioners that this course postulated that only the toppers in the Science stream in the Higher Secondary (10+2) examination in each district of the State of Assam were qualified to apply for the said course. On the basis of the said notification, dated 08.04.2005, the first batch of students were selected on merit and were admitted into the Medical Institution, Jorhat for the Diploma course in Medicine and Rural Health Care. While the petitioners had enrolled for the courses pursuant to the advertisement issued by the Director of Medical Education, Government of Assam and had enrolled for different batches in the said institute, a writ petition being WP(C) No.5789 of 2005 was filed before the High Court by the Assam Branch of Indian Medical Association challenging the constitutional validity of the ARHRA Act of 2004, i.e. Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004. In the said writ petition the present writ Page No.# 102/180 petitioners and other stakeholders who were undergoing the said courses were never arrayed as parties. No interim order staying the operation of the provisions of the Act and/or the courses undergone by the petitioners was issued by the Court while admitting the writ petition. The admissions to the said courses were carried on in terms of the advertisement/notifications issued by the Government of Assam. The petitioners who had successfully completed the said courses had registered themselves under the Register of Rural Health Practitioner and are called “Rural Health Practitioners”, and they were permitted to practice medicine in rural areas under certain conditions. In total 629 students had completed the said diploma course and they were all appointed in different rural areas of Assam, under the National Rural Health Mission (presently known as National Health Mission) as “Rural Health Practitioners”. According to the petitioners they were eligible to practice medicine and rural health care subject to certain conditions namely: “(a) They shall treat only those diseases and carry out those procedures which shall be outlined in the rules; (b) They shall prescribe only those drugs, which shall be outlined in rules; (c) They shall not carry out any surgeical procedure, invasion, investigation or treatment, Medical Termination of Pregnancy etc., but shall confine themselves to such medical treatment and perform such minor surgery as may be prescribed; Page No.# 103/180 (d) They shall practice only in rural areas as defined in the Act; (e) They may issue illness certificates and death certificates: (f) they shall maintain name, address, age, sex, diagnosis and treatment records of all patients treated by them; and (g) They shall not be eligible for employment in Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Health establishments located in Urban areas as General Duty Physicians involved in patient care in OPD, Emergency and Indoor Services”. 3. Being thus situated, the Gauhati High Court by judgment dated 30.10.2014 passed in WP(C) No.5789 of 2005 which was filed by the Assam Branch of Indian Medical Association challenging the vires of the ARHRA Act of 2004 had allowed the writ petition and held that the said Act of 2004 is unconstitutional on the ground that the said Act of 2004 is in conflict with the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, enacted by the Parliament, more particularly, Section 10A of the said Act. According to the Gauhati High Court in the said judgment, since Section 10A mandates for permission to be obtained from the Indian Medical Council as it then was for opening any new or higher course and the course of Rural Health Practitioners under the said Act being a new course permission was considered to be necessary in terms of Section 10A and that not having been obtained the same was in conflict with Section 10A of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and consequently, the ARHRA Act of 2004 was Page No.# 104/180 declared to be unconstitutional in the absence of the permission of the Central Government as well as in the absence of the assent of the President of India, under Article 254 of the Constitution of India, the said Act was unconstitutional and beyond the legislative competence of the Legislative Assembly of Assam. 4. That being aggrieved by the judgment of the Gauhati High Court some of the students who were pursuing their courses under the Act of 2004 filed a Special Leave Petition being SLP No.32592-32593 of 2015 before the Apex Court challenging the judgment and order dated 30.10.2014 passed in WP(C) No. 5789/2005. Meanwhile, those candidates who had completed the said diploma and registered as “Rural Health Practitioners” submitted various representations before the respondent authorities regarding the status of their employment as “Rural Health Practitioners” and employed under NRHM. The respondent authorities had assured that a new Act will shortly be promulgated and on such assurances, they were allowed to continue their services as “Rural Health Practitioners” as appointed earlier notwithstanding the striking down of the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004. 5. Subsequently, the Assam Legislature enacted a new Act, namely the “Assam Community Health Professionals (Registration and Competency) Act of 2015”. Under the said Act, a new three years course namely, “B.Sc. (Community Health)” in short “B.Sc. (CH)” was introduced as a paramedical course and thereby those who had earned their diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care and those who had been undergoing the said course, had been made equivalent and given the same status to that of B.Sc. (CH) graduates. The “Rural Health Page No.# 105/180 Practitioners” like the petitioners, who had the right to practice medicine and impart rural health care under the erstwhile Act of 2004, were also made community health professional under the said Act. It was published in the Official Gazette on 29.05.2015 and had accordingly come into force. Subsequent thereafter, by notification dated 24.06.2015, issued by the Principal Secretary to the Government of Assam, Health and Family Welfare Department, those who were working as “Rural Health Practitioner” under the National Rural Health Mission (presently known as National Health Mission) were notified and re- designated as “Community Health Officer (CHO)”. According to the petitioners, this status downgraded the petitioners from their earlier status from Rural Health practitioners to paramedics and further restricted their functioning for only supporting and supplementing medical work. According to the petitioners, under the erstwhile Act of 2004 as “Rural Health Practitioners” they were authorized to prescribe medicines to the patients, whereas, the students who had completed the course as B.Sc.(CH) under the new Act of 2014 has been appointed as “Community Health Officer (CHO)” and the petitioners had also been designated as “Community Health Officer”. They were given revised appointment and contract of employment. 6. Subsequently a notice dated 06.08.2015 was issued by the Director of Medical Education, Assam calling upon the ARHRA (Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority) registered candidates to apply for registration as “Community Health Professionals” at the Office of the Director of Medical Education, on or before 20.08.2015. Consequently, the petitioners were constrained to register themselves under the new Act, namely the “Assam Community Health Professionals (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015” and Page No.# 106/180 were given a registration certificate bearing a separate registration number. 7. Subsequently, the respondent Authorities issued letters for creation of posts for the petitioners as “Rural Health Practitioners” and their place of posting as SC/PHC/CHC etc and a proposal to that effect was also submitted by the Director of Health Services, Assam for creation of a post of “Rural Health Practitioner” as received from the Director of Medical Education, Assam which was submitted to the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Assam. However, no separate cadres with payment and financial benefits have been created. Meanwhile, two petitions being WP(C) No. 6142 of 2017 and WP(C) No. 3914 of 2017 were filed before the Gauhati High Court by some of the petitioners, challenging the legality, validity and constitutionality of the provisions of the “Assam Community Health Professionals (Registration and Competency) Act 2015. Subsequently, as per order of the Apex Court, dated 24.01.2018 and 13.03.2018 passed in SLP No. 32592-32593 of 2015, both these writ petitions were transferred to the Apex Court and were renumbered as TC(C) No.24/2018 and TC(C) No.25/2018 and connected with the SLP No.32592-32593 of 2015. The SLP was finally disposed of along with the transfer cases by the judgment and order dated 24.01.2023. By the said judgment, the validity of the Act of 2015 was upheld and although the Apex Court disagreed with the conclusions arrived at by the Gauhati High Court in setting aside the Act of 2004, however, for different reasons the interference of the Act of 2004 was upheld. The petitioners, by the present writ petition is before the Court claiming their rights which were conferred on them under the erstwhile Act of 2004 by conferring their diplomas in course in Medicine and Rural Health Care and thereby they were permitted to offer medical treatments Page No.# 107/180 as “Rural Health Practitioner”. The claim of the writ petitioners stems from the fact that the status of “Rural Health Practitioner” was conferred on the petitioners under the Act of 2004, which was an act of the legislature and under the courses prescribed under the Act which were successfully completed, the petitioners earned their diplomas course in Medicine and Rural Health Care and were declared as “Rural Health Practitioner” who could offer medical treatment under certain conditions prescribed under the Act itself. It is the claim of the petitioners that under the new Act of 2015, their status although sought to be conferred as “Community Health Practitioners” had downgraded their status from Rural Health Practitioners to Paramedics. The petitioners urged that the rights which were accrued by the petitioners under the erstwhile Act of 2004 could not be taken away or the petitioners be deprived thereof, notwithstanding the setting aside of the Act of 2004 by the Gauhati High Court and which ultimately came to be upheld by the Apex Court. 8. The learned Senior Counsel for the writ petitioners strenuously argued before the Court that there can never be any deprivation of the qualifications which the petitioners earned lawfully during the operation of the ARHRA Act of 2004. It is submitted that no relief was either paid for or granted against the petitioners. The petitioners were never arrayed as parties in the proceedings before the High Court. It is therefore, urged that any declaration of the said act to be unconstitutional in the facts and circumstances of the case can never be held to have any retrospective effect and the judgment also does not provide for its retrospective operation. It is submitted that during the pendency of the writ petition challenging the constitutional validity of the ARHRA Act of 2004, there was no interim order operating and therefore, the students like the petitioners Page No.# 108/180 who had already enrolled in these courses and in the meantime completed the courses and earned their diplomas and as a consequence thereof, the striking down of the Act as unconstitutional cannot take away the approved rights of the petitioners that they have acquired under the provisions of an Act which was considered to be lawful prior to it striking down and these diplomas and the qualifications were acquired by the petitioners well before the judgment of the High Court holding the ARHRA Act of 2004 to be unconstitutional and thereby striking it down. Therefore, the striking down of the Act cannot necessarily take away the approved rights of the petitioners retrospectively. 9. It is submitted that the statute which is made by a competent legislature is valid till it is declared as unconstitutional by a Court of law. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners has urged that the Act of the Legislature should prejudice no one. It is submitted that where injury has been caused to a person due to no fault of his own, the principles of natural justice demand that such person should not be rendered remediless in the facts of the present case where the petitioners have enrolled themselves in the course as notified by the State respondent under the valid piece of legislation at the relevant point in time, namely the ARHRA Act of 2004. The subsequent declaration by the High Court holding the Act to be unconstitutional ought not to take away the benefits conferred on the writ petitioners and more particularly when they were not given an opportunity of being heard such action was harsh and disproportionate causing grave prejudice to the writ petitioners. 10. The further submission of the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners Page No.# 109/180 that the legitimate expectation of the writ petitioners is fortified by the statute of the Government of Assam taken before the Apex Court in an affidavit dated 12.01.2021 which was affirmed by the Joint Secretary, General Administrative Department of the Government of Assam, whereby there was an averment made that the petitioners having the requisite skill, training and expertise to possess the limited licence to practice medicine is permissible under Section 32 of the National Medical Council Act, 2019. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners has also urged that the effect of denuding the petitioners of their recruit rights notwithstanding the valid qualifications they have acquired under the statute ARHRA Act of 2004, prior to the same being declared unconstitutional has the effect of trampling over their rights guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India to live a dignified life. The learned Senior Counsel submits that under a valid piece of legislation as it then was, the petitioners were accrued their rights and were permitted limited licence to render medical services within the restrictions prescribed under the Act and the Rules. However, pursuant to the ARHRA Act of 2004 being declared unconstitutional, the learned Senior Counsel therefore, submits that Article 21 is the heart and soul of the Constitution which takes within its sweep the fundamental rights of the petitioners to continue to live a dignified life and be permitted to be employed as per the qualifications acquired by the them under a valid piece of legislation as it then was. 11. The learned Senior Counsel has also urged the doctrine of promissory estoppel against the State in respect of Governmental, public capacity if its application is necessary to prevent manifest injustice. The learned Senior Counsel strongly urged that the writ petitioners had altered their positions by Page No.# 110/180 applying to the advertisements called for by the department in terms of the provisions of the ARHRA Act of 2004. In response to the advertisements and notifications issued, the petitioners had applied for and were subsequently selected and permitted to be enrolled in the diploma courses and which after their enrollment they have successfully completed and earned their diplomas. Subsequently, when the Act was declared unconstitutional, the doctrine of promissory estoppels in these circumstances will be applicable against the State to prevent manifest injustice against the writ petitioners. A promise was held out to the petitioners under a statute which was valid at the relevant point in time and the petitioners having altered their positions accepted the promises and thereafter, duly completed the courses and earned their diplomas. They were therefore, qualified to render their services in terms of the limited licence granted to them. The learned Senior Counsel therefore, submits that in view of the new statute replacing the earlier Indian Medical Council Act namely the National Medical Council Act of 2019, there is a scope for issuing a direction to the respondents for including the qualifications and the services to be rendered by the petitioners in the schedule. 12. The learned Senior Counsel submits that the need of the ARHRA today is to waste public resources. Significant resources have been invested in the education and training of the petitioners by establishment of the institutes, salaries and wages for the employees and staffs and other related expenses. If, after the successful completion of these diploma courses, the qualifications are nullified at this stage, it would result in wholly unreasonable wastage of public resources, and compelling the petitioners to undergo the entire medical education process afresh would render the exercise redundant, inefficient, and Page No.# 111/180 contrary to the object sought to be achieved. Under such circumstances, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners submits that although the Apex Court ultimately upheld the conclusion of the Gauhati High Court striking down the ARHRA Act, 2004, it expressly disagreed with the reasoning adopted by the High Court and rested its decision on different grounds. The Apex Court further went on to uphold the constitutional validity of the Act of 2015. This being the position, it is now open to the State Government to make necessary amendments to the Act of 2015 to ensure that the petitioners are given a suitable and dignified opportunity to gainfully engage themselves and earn their livelihoods and at the same time, offering their services towards the society by utilizing their training and experiences which they have earned and acquired under the ARHRA Act of 2004. The judgments referred by the Senior Counsel for the petitioners are discussed later in this judgments. 13. The learned Standing Counsel, Health Department on the other hand submits that the State had conceived of the ARHRA Act of 2004 and the State legislature had accordingly enacted the Act for having a set of professionals who are given limited licence to practice and are identified as “Rural Health Practitioner”. These candidates including the petitioners, underwent the necessary training and experiences and thereafter, employed under the N.R.H.M. (now renamed as N.H.M.) and had rendered their services. However, the Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court held the Act to be unconstitutional as the same was considered to be in conflict with Section 10A of the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956. It is keeping in the interest of the candidates like the petitioners and the State government thereafter enacted the Act of 2015. The validity of the same, although challenged before the Gauhati High Court Page No.# 112/180 and subsequently transferred to the Apex Court ultimately came to be upheld by the Apex Court by the judgment and order dated 24.01.2023. The learned Standing Counsel, Health Department submits that the petitioners are now registered as “Community Health Practitioner” and are still engaged in the N.H.M. therefore, it is not admitted that the petitioners have not been gainfully employed or they are allowed to perform their jobs which have lowered their dignity or status. He therefore, submits that the grievances expressed by the petitioners are unfounded and in the face of the orders passed by the Apex Court, the petitioners’ interests are being taken care of under the Act of 2015. He therefore, submits that the apprehensions expressed by the petitioners are not well founded and therefore the writ petition does not have any merit and should be rejected. 14. The learned counsel for the parties have been heard and the pleadings available on record have been carefully perused. 15. At the outset, it is necessary to refer the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004. The Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004 was enacted to provide for the establishment of a regulatory authority in the State of Assam to regulate and register the diploma holders in Medicine & Rural Health Care (DMRHC) and their practice of medicine in rural areas and also to regulate opening of Medical Institutes for imparting education and training for the course of diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care (DMRHC).

Pursuant to the enactment of this Act, certain regulations were framed, namely the Regulations of the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority. Wherein, the regulations prescribed the process of admission into Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care Course in medical institute in the State of Assam. 17. The regulation 7 is important and is therefore extracted below: “(a) The successful candidate shall be eligible to practice medicine and rural Health Care in rural areas of the State of Assam only (b) They can only prescribe the drugs that have already been indicated in the annexure-II of the Regulation framed by the Authority.

The list of equipments and teaching materials to be provided and also the curriculum for the course of Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health are prescribed elaborately under the said regulations. 19. The constitutional validity of this Act was assailed before this High Court by the Indian Medical Association, Assam branch, by filing writ petition being WP(C) 5789 of 2005. This challenge was primarily premised on section 10A, which provided that no person shall establish a medical college or no medical college shall open a “new” or higher course of study or training, including postgraduate course of study or training, which would enable a student of such course for training to qualify himself for a degree of any recognized medical qualification. According to the Indian Medical Association, Assam branch for opening the course of “Rural Health Practitioner” under the ARHRA Act of 2004, no permission was obtained by the State of Assam and as a consequence thereof, this Act was enacted without any authority. The legislature of the State did not have the required legislative competence to enact the ARHRA Act of 2004 in view of section 10A. 20. The Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court upon due consideration of Page No.# 121/180 the entire matter and the arguments advanced, allowed the writ petition and consequently interfered with and set aside the ARHRA Act of 2004 on the ground that it is in conflict with the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act and therefore, it was held to be unconstitutional and was struck down. 21. Being aggrieved this matter was assailed before the Apex Court by filing SLP No.32592-32593 of 2015. Meanwhile, the State in order to take away the effect of the Act of 2004, brought the new Act namely the Assam Community Health Professionals (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015. This was notified on 29.05.2015 in the Assam Gazette. This Act was promulgated to provide for registration norms and competency of the “Community Health Professionals” after passing B.Sc. (Community Health) course and to give same status to the students who have completed or have been undergoing the Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care course in Medical Institute, Jorhat with that of B.Sc. (Community Health) course to enable them to serve as paramedical personnel in the State of Assam. Under the said Act, “Community Health Professionals” are defined under section 2C which is mentioned below: “2(c) "Community Health Professionals" means the persons who have been registered as such by the Director and issued a Certificate of Registration in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this Act” 22. Section 3(2) prescribes that where the students have already completed or have been undergoing Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care course in the Medical Institute, Jorhat on the date of commencement of this new Act, they Page No.# 122/180 shall be deemed to have completed or have been undergoing the paramedical course of B.Sc. (Community Health) for the purposes of this Act and shall require the same status to that of B.Sc. (Community Health) graduates and they shall also be registered by the Director and issued with a certificate of registration as “Community Health Professionals”. 23. Under section 4 these “Community Health Professionals” may be designated as “Community Health Officers” by the Government and shall work in the Sub-Centre level and any such places as may be determined. The clinical competencies as prescribed under section 5(2) of the Act are as under: “5(2) Clinical Competencies:- (a) To provide primary care for simple, uncomplicated common problems of adults and children on purely ambulatory basis at the Sub Centre clinic; (b) To refer all the other cases to physicians and provide facilities after first aid and pre-referral stabilization care, as required; (c) To dispensing designated drugs prescribed by the physician; (d) To conduct specified laboratory tests such as malarial parasite, HB test, filarial, TLC, Pap smear, etc.; (e) To oversee and ensure community-based care of the patients who received out Page No.# 123/180 patient or in patient care facility and are now at home.” 24. Pursuant to the enactment of the Act of 2015, the Government brought out a notification dated 24.07.2015, whereby the candidates have completed Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care course in Medical Institute and who have already completed Diploma in Medicine and Community Health Care course in the Medical Institute of Jorhat are identified as “Community Health Officers” subject to submission of the certificates of registration as B.Sc. (Community Health Professionals) issued by the Director Medical Education Assam. Prior to this notification, the petitioners in view of the registration as “Community Health Professionals” were notified as “Community Health Professionals” under the Act of 2015. Thereafter, the petitioners continued to work as “Community Health Professionals” after being designated as “Community Health Officers”. They were engaged under various centres of the NHM. 25. However, it is the grievance of the petitioners that the services which they had rendered as “Rural Health Professionals” are no longer permitted to be offered by them, instead they are assisting the Officers of the Health Department of the N.H.M. in their various administrative work including functioning as data entry operators, etc. Being thus situated, this Act of 2015 also came to be challenged regarding its constitutional validity by some of the candidates who had pursued or were pursuing the diploma courses which were earlier conducted under the Act of 2004. Two petitions were filed and these petitions subsequently came to be transferred to the Apex Court in view of the SLP pending before the Apex Court and were connected together with the SLP. Page No.# 124/180 26. The SLP and these transferred petitions came to be taken up for hearing by the Apex Court and by the judgment and order dated 24.01.2023, the SLP along with the transferred petitions came to be disposed of. The Apex Court upheld the conclusion of the Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court in holding the Act of 2004 to be unconstitutional but the reasons on the basis of which the Gauhati High Court had come to the conclusion were not accepted and the Apex Court for different reasons had also arrived at the same conclusions and thereby upheld the conclusions of the Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court. The Apex Court, however, rejected the transferred petitions and upheld the constitutional validity of the Act of 2015. The Apex Court by a very elaborated and exhaustive judgment disposed of these matters. In order to appreciate the basis of the conclusions reached by the Apex Court in paragraph 25, it is necessary to refer to the judgment rendered in SLP Nos. 32592–32593 of 2015, whereby the Special Leave Petition preferred by the State of Assam came to be dismissed. The penultimate conclusions arrived at by the Apex Court are relevant and which are extracted below: “25. In the result, we arrive at the following conclusions: (i) Entry 25 of List III of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India deals with the subject education which is in the Concurrent List under which both the Parliament or the Union Legislature as well as the State Legislatures have legislative competence to legislate. However, Entry 25 of List III is subject to, inter alia, Entry 66 of List I which is the Union List. Entry 66 of List I deals with coordination and determination of standards in institutions for higher education or research and scientific and technical institutions. Thus, when any law is made under Page No.# 125/180 Entry 25 of List III by a State Legislature, the same is always subject to Entry 66 of List I. In other words, if any law made by the Parliament comes within the scope of Entry 66 of List I, then the State Legislation would have to yield to the Parliamentary law. Thus, where one Entry is made “subject to” another Entry, it would imply that, out of the scope of the former Entry, a field of legislation covered by the latter Entry has been reserved to be specifically dealt with by the appropriate legislature. (ii) In the instant case, it is held that the IMC Act, 1956 is a legislation made by the Parliament for the purpose of coordination and determination of standards in medical education throughout the Country. The said law, along with the Rules and Regulations made thereunder are for the purpose of determination of standards of medical education throughout India. Thus, determination of standards in medical education in India is as per the IMC Act, 1956 which is a Central Law. This is in respect of modern medicine or allopathic medicine within the scope of Entry 66 of List I and not under Entry 25 of List III of the Seventh Schedule. Therefore, a State Legislature which passes a law in respect of allopathic medicine or modern medicine would be subject to the provisions of the IMC Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. This would imply that no State Legislature has the legislative competence to pass any law which would be contradictory to or would be in direct conflict with the IMC Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. In other words, the standard in medical education insofar as modern medicine or allopathy is concerned, having been set by the IMC Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder or by any subsequent Act in that regard, such as the Medical Council of India Act, 2019, the State Legislature has no legislative competence to enact a law which is in conflict with the law setting the standards of medical education in the context of modern medicine or allopathic medicine, which has been determined by Parliamentary Legislation as well as the Rules. In other words, a State Legislature has no legislative competence to enact a Page No.# 126/180 law in respect of modern medicine or allopathic medicine contrary to the said standards that have been determined by the Central Law. In view of the above conclusion, we hold that decision of the Gauhati High Court holding that the Assam Act to be null and void, is just and proper. However, the Gauhati High Court has held that the State had no legislative competence to enact the Assam Act in view of Article 254 of the Constitution on the premise that the IMC Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder were holding the field and hence, on the basis of the doctrine of occupied field, the Assam Act was struck down as being repugnant to the Central Law. In view of the aforesaid conclusion, we are of the view that the said reasoning is incorrect. It is reiterated that the IMC Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder, which are all Central legislations, have been enacted having regard to Entry 66 of List I and would prevail over any State Law made by virtue of Entry 25 of List III of the Constitution. (iii) Hence, in view of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder, the Assam Act, namely, the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004, is declared to be null and void, in view of the Assam Legislature not having the legislative competence to enact the said Law. (iv) Consequently, the subsequent legislation, namely, the Assam Act of 2015 i.e., the Assam Community Professionals (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015, enacted pursuant to the judgment of the Gauhati High Court, is a valid piece of Legislation as it has removed the basis of the impugned judgment passed by the Gauhati High Court. The 2015 Act is also not in conflict with the IMC, Act, 1956. This is because Page No.# 127/180 the Central Act namely, IMC, Act, 1956 does not deal with Community Health Professionals who would practise as allopathic practitioners in the manner as they were permitted to practise under the Assam Act, in rural areas of the State of Assam. Hence, by a separate legislation the Community Health Professionals have been permitted to practise as such professionals. The said legislation of 2015 is not in conflict with IMC, Act, 1956 and the rules and regulations made thereunder. Hence, the Act of 2015 is not hit by Entry 66 of List I of the Constitution and is within the legislative competence of the State Legislature under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. 26. In the result, the Civil Appeals arising out of SLP(C) Nos. 32592-32593 of 2015 as well as TC (C) No. 24 of 2018 and TC (C) No. 25 of 2018 stand dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. 27. Parties to bear their respective costs” 27. By the present petition, the petitioners seek directions to be issued to the respondents to take steps to notify the petitioners as allopathic practitioners in the manner they were permitted under the erstwhile ARHRA Act of 2004 in the rural areas of the State, in terms of Paragraph 25(iv) of the judgment passed in S.L.P. No.32592-32593 of 2015, the further direction is sought for to the respondents to frame the Rules, Regulations and appropriate schemes in respect of the petitioners as allopathic practitioners, in terms of Para 25(iv) of the judgment of the Apex Court. A further direction is also sought for to the State respondents to establish a regulatory authority to regulate and register the petitioners as allopathic practitioners in terms of the said judgment of the Page No.# 128/180 Apex Court and such directions to the State Government to formulate a scheme like a condensed MBBS Course for the petitioners as a one-time measure so as to continue and complete the studies to meet the standards of the recognized medical qualification as envisaged under the National Medical Commission Act of 2019 and to direct the respondents to create permanent posts for the petitioners and create a separate cadre with payment and financial benefits. 28. 28. Upon a careful perusal of the judgment of the Apex Court, it is seen that the Apex Court has upheld the Act of 2015 as it had clearly concluded that the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 did not deal with “Community Health Practitioners” to be permitted as allopathic practitioners and therefore, there was no conflict and it is not hit by Entry 66 of list 1 of the Constitution and is within the legislative competence of the State Legislature under the 7th Schedule of the Constitution. 29. The main thrust of the arguments by the learned Senior Counsel on behalf of the petitioners before this Court is that the rights which are accrued under the Act of 2004 could not be taken away merely because the statute under which these rights were accrued came to be interfered with. The learned Senior Counsel urged that the judgment of the Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court will take effect only from the date of pronouncement which is 30.10.2014 and on which date the petitioners have already acquired their diplomas and are registered as “Rural Health Practitioners”. Therefore, the rights of the petitioners to function as allopathic practitioners in the rural areas as “Rural Health Practitioners” could not have been taken away retrospectively. The sheet anchor Page No.# 129/180 of the arguments of the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner is that the doctrine of prospective overruling has to be read into the judgment rendered by the Apex Court and which is evident from the conclusions arrived at by the Apex Court in its judgment dated 24.01.2023, as although the Apex Court had dismissed the SLP preferred by the State and thereby upheld the conclusions arrived at by the Division Bench of the High Court but for different reasons. 30. It is submitted that the constitutional validity of the subsequent Act of 2015 was upheld as it was held that the functioning of the petitioners as allopathic practitioners as Community Health Professionals was not in conflict with the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 as the same did not deal with “Community Health Practitioners”. Therefore, the diplomas acquired by the petitioners as “Rural Health Practitioners” cannot now be ignored by the State and they cannot be deprived of their rights to practice in the rural areas and render their services as allopathic practitioners in the State of Assam as “Rural Health Practitioners”, notwithstanding the position that they are now registered as “Community Health Practitioners/Officers” under the Act of 2015. The accrued rights of the petitioners under the Act of 2004 cannot be taken away and should be continued to be made available to them. This interpretation has to be read into the new Act of 2015 and the State if required should be directed to issue appropriate rules, regulations, notifications, orders to clarify the same. The action of the State to equate the petitioners as paramedical staff and be treated as “Community Health Practitioners” is therefore, bad in law and needs to be interfered with. Page No.# 130/180 31. It is the argument before this Court that the directions of the Apex Court as per paragraph 25 of the judgment and order dated 24.01.2023 has not been complied with and carried out and thereby the accrued rights of the writ petitioners have been wrongly deemed. The rest of the arguments which have been urged before the Court like promissory estoppels, legitimate expectation etc. need not be dealt with specifically in these proceedings as the Division Bench judgment of this Court by the judgment and order dated 30.10.2014, whereby the Act of 2004 was held to be constitutionally invalid has been upheld by the Apex Court by dismissing the SLP preferred by the State against the said judgment and furthermore, the challenge made to the subsequent Act of 2015 has also been dispelled by upholding the constitutional validity of the said Act of 2015. The Apex Court has categorically observed in the judgment that the subsequent Act was brought into remove the thrust and the effect of the judgment of the Division Bench of this High Court, whereby the Act of 2004 was held to be constitutionally invalid. Under such circumstances, it cannot be said that after interference of the Act of 2004, no separate law has been enacted thereafter. As a consequence thereof the question of application of the doctrine of promissory estoppel and legitimate expectation against the State would do not require examination in this proceeding, in view of the subsequent Act of 2015 having been upheld by the Apex Court, according to the considered view of this Court. The Apex Court by the very exhaustive and elaborate judgment dealt with each and every aspect while examining the challenge made to the constitutional validity of the Act of 2015 and finally concluded inter alia that this Act of 2015 is not in conflict with any provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 inasmuch as the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 does not deal with the aspect of “Community Health Practitioners” who are permitted to Page No.# 131/180 render allopathic practice or service. 32. Before the Apex Court the controversy was with regard to the legislative competence of the Assam State Legislature to enact the Assam Act of 2004, which was assailed before the Gauhati High Court on the ground of legislative competence as per Article 246, read with List I and List III of the 7th Schedule of the Constitution of India and which Act was struck down by the Gauhati High Court on the ground of repugnancy as per Article 254 of the Constitution. A challenge was also made to the validity of the subsequent Act enacted, being the Assam Act of 2015. 33. Upon consideration of the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties the following points fell for consideration before the Apex Court: ”i) Whether the Assam Act is invalid and null and void on the ground that the Assam State Legislature did not possess legislative competence to enact the said Act? ii) Whether the '2015 Act' is ultra vires the Constitution? iii) What Order?” 34. The Apex Court considered the provisions of Article 246 and 254 along with Entry 66 of List I and Entry 25 of List III by examining the various Page No.# 132/180 precedents laid down by the Apex Court. In this regard, the Apex Court answered the points for consideration with regard to the interpretation of the entries of list 7th Schedule of the Constitution as under: “i) The Entries in the different Lists should be read together without giving a narrow meaning to any of them. The powers of the Union and the State Legislatures are expressed in precise and definite terms. Hence, there can be no broader interpretation given to one Entry than to the other. Even where an Entry is worded in wide terms, it cannot be so interpreted as to negate or override another Entry or make another Entry meaningless. In case of an apparent conflict between different Entries, it is the duty of the Court to reconcile them in the first instance. ii) In case of an apparent overlapping between two Entries, the doctrine of pith and substance has to be applied to find out the true nature of a legislation and the Entry within which it would fall. iii) Where one Entry is made 'subject to' another Entry, all that it means is that out of the scope of the former Entry, a field of legislation covered by the latter Entry has been reserved to be specially dealt with by the appropriate Legislature. iv) When one item is general and another specific, the latter will exclude the former on a subject of legislation. If, however, they cannot be fairly reconciled, the power enumerated in List II must give way to List I. Page No.# 133/180 v) On a close perusal of the Entries in the three Lists of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, it is discerned that the Constitution has divided the topics of legislation into the following three broad categories: (i) Entries enabling laws to be made; (ii) Entries enabling taxes to be imposed; and (iii) Entries enabling fees and stamp duties to be collected. Thus, the entries on levy of taxes are specifically mentioned. Therefore, per se, there cannot be a conflict of taxation power of Union and the State.” 35. Regarding the interplay between Entry 66 of List I and Entry 25 of List III after examining various earlier precedents of the Apex Court and upon the discussion of the precedents laid therein, it was held that: “16.1. The field of legislation covered under Entry 25 of List III is subject to Entries 63, 64, 65 and 66 of List I. It is, therefore, necessary to dilate on the effect of providing that one Entry or provision is 'subject to' another. As per Black's Law Dictionary, 5th Edition, Pg. 1278, "subject to" means "liable, subordinate, subservient, inferior, obedient to, governed or affected by." The following decisions would illustrate the above meanings of the phrase 'subject to: (i) In K.R.C.S. Balakrishna Chetty & Sons & Co. vs. The State of Madras, AIR 1961 SC 1152, ("K.R.C.S. Balakrishna Chetty & Sons & Co.") this Court observed that the expression "subject to" has reference to effectuating the intention of the law and the correct meaning, of the phrase is, "conditional upon". (ii) Similarly, in The South India Corporation (P) Ltd. vs. The Page No.# 134/180 Secretary, Board of Revenue Trivandrum and Ors., AIR 1964 SC 207, ("The South India Corporation (P) Ltd.") this Court observed that the expression "subject to" conveys the idea of a provision yielding place to another provision or other provisions to which it is made subject. This understanding of the phrase "subject to" has been affirmed in K.T. Plantation (P) Ltd. vs. State of Karnataka, (2011) 9 SCC 1, ("K.T. Plantation (P) Ltd.”). (iii) In Ashok Leyland Ltd. us. State of Tamil Nadu and Anr., (2004) 3 SCC 1, ("Ashok Leyland Ltd.") this Court held that, "Subject to' is an expression whereby limitation is expressed." 16.2. In the facts of the present case, the Assam Act would be subject to the provisions of the Central Act. This is because the Assam Act is stated to be enacted on the strength of Entry 25 of List III, and the power of the State Legislature under the said Entry is circumscribed to the limited extent of it being subject to Entries 63, 64, 65 and 66 of List I. 16.3. Where one Entry is made 'subject to' another Entry, it means that out of the scope of the former Entry, a field of legislation covered by the latter Entry has been reserved to be specially dealt with by the appropriate Legislature. In the present context, the field of legislation covered under Entry 25 of List III is subject to Entry 66 of List I. This would imply that out of the scope of Entry 25 of List III, a field of legislation covered by Entry 66 of List I is reserved to be dealt with by the Parliament. Hence, the field covered by the Central Act, enacted under Entry 66 of List I, is carved out of the scope of Entry 25 of List III and is reserved to be dealt with by the Parliament. What is that field of legislation has to be identified. We shall Page No.# 135/180 proceed to undertake the said exercise by considering both the Central as well as the State enactments.” 36. In respect of the various provisions of the Assam Act of 2004, when juxtaposed with the corresponding provisions of the Central Act of Indian Medical Association Act of 1956, the Apex Court upon a detailed examination of the respective provisions, concluded as under: “i) The Central Act operates in the area of modern scientific medicine, in all its branches, vide Section 2(f). The Assam Act seeks to regulate the practice of allopathic medicine, in rural areas, vide Section 2(g). Essentially, modern scientific medicine, includes allopathy, In other words, modern scientific medicine is the genus and allopathic medicine is a species of modern scientific medicine. This view has been adopted by this Court in A.K. Sabhapathy and Dr. Mukhtiar Chand. Therefore, the practice in modern scientific medicine including allopathic medicine, is governed by the Central Act. Hence, in order to be recognised as a practitioner in any branch of modern scientific medicine, including allopathic medicine, the qualifications that must mandatorily be obtained are those listed in the Schedules to the Central Act. ii) Further, Section 17 of the Assam Act provides that persons holding a Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care after successful completion of the course instituted under the Act, would be registered as Rural Health Practitioners and would be eligible to practise 'medicine' and Health Care in rural areas of Assam. The Assam Act permits Diploma holders to practise 'medicine, i.e., allopathic medicine, in rural areas of Assam. We are unable to accept that allopathic medicine, which is governed by the Central Act, may be Page No.# 136/180 practised by persons who do not possess the qualifications contemplated under the Schedules to the Central Act. їїї) Practise in modern scientific medicine, including allopathic medicine, must be permitted only after having successfully undergone the academic rigor, as prescribed under the Central Act. The Central Act, in Section 33 authorizes the Council to prescribe inter alia, the courses and period of study, practical training to be undertaken, subjects, examination and standards of proficiency required to be achieved. Therefore, it is problematic to hold that without having successfully gone through meticulous training as contemplated under the Central Act, a person may practise medicine. iv) On a close reading of Section 15 of the Central Act, in conjunction with Section 24 of the Assam Act, we find that Rural Health Practitioners possessing a Diploma under the Assam Act have been authorised to perform certain functions identical to those performed by medical practitioners who possess qualifications prescribed under the Central Act. Such functions include treatment of common illnesses, prescription of certain categories of drugs, performance of minor surgeries, issuance of illness and death certificates. Performance of such functions by persons who do not possess the qualifications prescribed under the Central Act, could, in our view, have dangerous consequences. It was held that in so far as Entry 25 of List III is concerned, there are dual restrictions which would operate on the legislative competence of a State Legislature to enact any law under the said Entry: first is, if such a law is to be made by the State Legislature, it is always subject to Entries 63, 64, 65 and 66 Page No.# 137/180 of List I or the Union List, in respect of which only the Parliament has the power to enact a law. The second restriction is with regard to the subject of the Entry as a whole. If the Parliament has made any law which is outside the scope of Entries 63, 64, 65 and 66 of List I but within the scope of Entry 25 of List III, in such a case Article 254 and the principles of repugnancy would apply if a State Law is in conflict with such Parliamentary Law. 37. The Apex Court held that the law made by the State legislature, namely the Assam Act, is hit by the first of the two restrictions and therefore, is null and void as the Assam legislature lacked the legislative competence to enact such a law and in the light of the said discussion, it was held that the Rural Health Practitioners enlisted under the Assam Act are underqualified to perform functions similar to those performed by medical practitioners registered in accordance with the Central Act. In order to be recognized as a practitioner in any branch of modern scientific medicine, including allopathic medicine, qualifications must mandatorily be obtained as those listed under the schedule of the Central Act. 38. It is also necessary to refer the discussions of the Apex Court in respect of certain judgments which were pressed into service before the Apex Court as the said judgments have also been relied upon before this Court. In respect of Dr. Mukhtiar Chand vs. State of Punjab, (1998) 7 SCC 579, the Apex Court held that: “(i) In this case the controversy was with regard to the issuance of Page No.# 138/180 declarations by the State of Punjab under clause (iii) of Rule 2(ee) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 (for short, Drugs Rules) which defines "registered medical practitioner". The State of Punjab issued a notification dated 29.10.1967 declaring all the vaids/hakims who had been registered under the East Punjab Ayurvedic and Unani Practitioners Act, 1949, and the PEPSU Ayurvedic and Unani Practitioners Act, 2008, and the Punjab Ayurvedic and Unani Practitioners Act, 1963, as persons practising modern system of medicine for the purposes of the Drugs Act. (i) It was contended that the right of practitioners of Indian medicine to practice modern scientific system or medicine (allopathic medicine) is protected under Section 17(3)(b) of the Indian Medicine Central Council Act, 1970 (IMCC Act, 1970' for short). (ii) While dealing with the IMC Act, 1956, the Apex observed that in order to ensure professional standards required to practice allopathic medicine, the IMC Act, 1956 was passed, and the said Act also deals with the reconstitution of the Medical Council of India and maintenance of an Indian Medical Register. Section 2(f) of the IMC Act, 1956, defines "medicine" to mean "modern scientific medicine" in all its branches and includes surgery and obstetrics, but does not include veterinary medicine and surgery and the expression "recognised medical qualification" is defined in Section 2(h) of the said Act to mean any of the medical qualifications included in the Schedules to the Act. Further, referring to Section 15 of the IMC Act, 1956, it was observed that qualifications included in the Schedules shall be sufficient qualification for enrolment in any State Medical Register; but in none of the Schedules, the qualifications of Integrated courses figure. Consequently, by virtue of this Page No.# 139/180 section, persons holding degrees in integrated courses cannot be registered in any State Medical Register. Hence, by Act 24 of 1964, Section 15 of the IMC Act, 1956, was modified by adding two more sub-sections. Section 15(2)(b) thereof prohibits all persons from practicing modern scientific medicine in all its branches in any State except a medical practitioner enrolled in a State Medical Register. There are two types of registration as far as the State Medical Register is concerned: the first is under Section 25 and the second is under Section 15(1) of the said Act. The third category of registration is in the "Indian Medical register" which the Indian Medical Council is enjoined to maintain under Section 21 of the said Act for which recognised medical qualification is a prerequisite.” 39. Insofar as Subhasis Baksi vs. W.B. Medical Council, (2003) 9 SCC 269 is concerned the discussion of the Apex Court in this regard is under: “(i) In this case the appellants therein, who had completed the diploma course of Community Medical Service from duly recognised institutions in the State of West Bengal and were posted in different parts of the State, had assailed the Notification dated 15.10.1980, issued by the Government of West Bengal by which amendments were made to the statute of the State Medical Faculty by introducing Article 6-F under Part B. Thereafter, a Corrigendum was issued and the diploma course that was earlier known as "Diploma in Medicine for Community Physicians" was rechristened as "Diploma in Community Medical Service" The grievance of the appellants therein was that although they could treat certain common diseases but they had no right to issue certificates of Page No.# 140/180 sickness or death, prescriptions etc. as the same was taken away by a Notification dated 21-11-1990. Subsequently, challenging the denial of "consequential right to treat" such as the right to issue prescription or certificates of sickness or death, the second-round of litigation began. A Writ Petition was filed before the Calcutta High Court which was allowed in favour of the appellants, subject to the condition that they would not be allowed to pursue private practice and it was made clear that their only right was to prescribe medicines and issue certificates and this part of the order became final. However, the Bengal Medical Council preferred an appeal before the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court. Relying on Dr. A.K. Sabhapathy vs. State of Kerala and others, AIR 1992 SC 1310, ("Dr. A.R. Sabhapathy") wherein it was found that "a person can practise in allopathic system of medicine in a State or in the country only if he possesses a recognised medical qualification" and since the appellants therein did not possess the required qualification, it was held that their names could not be included in the Medical Register. On this basis, the appellants approached this Court. This Court considered the question as to whether the right to issue prescription or certificates could be treated as a part of right to treat. This Court observed that once the right to treat is recognised, then the right to prescribe medicine or issue necessary certificate flows from it, or else the right to treat cannot be completely protected. It was further observed that appellants therein had the right to prescribe medicine. Consequently, the order of the Division Bench was set aside and the order of the learned Single Judge was restored. Page No.# 141/180 A direction was issued to include the names of all the diploma-holders concerned in the State Medical Register for the limited purpose indicated therein.” 40. Again in Dr. A.K. Sabhapathy vs. State of Kerala, AIR 1992 SC 1310, the Apex Court considered the said judgment. “(i) In this case, the validity of the first proviso to Section 38 of the Travancore Cochin Medical Practitioners' Act, 1953 (for short, "the State Act") and the order dated 20.09.1978 and a notification dated 13.04.1981 issued by the Government of Kerala, were assailed. This Court considered the aforesaid State Law in light of the IMC Act, 1956 ("the Central Act") and observed that the expression 'modern scientific medicine' in Section 2(f) of the Central Act refers to the Allopathic system of medicine and that the provisions of the Central Act have been made in relation to medical practitioners practising the said system. This view found support from the fact that after the enactment of the Central Act, the Parliament had enacted the IMCC Act, 1970 in relation to the system of Indian medicine commonly known as Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani and the Homeopathy Central Council Act, 1973 in relation to Homoeopathic system of medicine wherein provisions similar to those contained in the Central Act had been made in relation to the said systems of medicine. This Court was of the view that from the provisions of the State Act, noticed earlier, it was evident that the field of operation of the State Act covered all the systems of medicine, namely, Allopathic, Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani and Homeopathic systems of medicine. Moreover, the State Act dealt with recognition of qualifications required for registration of a person as a medical practitioner in these systems, conditions for Page No.# 142/180 registration of medical practitioners and maintenance of register of practitioners for each system and the constitution of separate councils for modern medicine, homocopathic medicine and indigenous medicine. It was observed that as compared to the State Act, the field of operation of the Central Act is restricted and it is confined in its application to modern scientific medicine, namely, the Allopathic system of medicine only, wherein it also deals with recognition of medical qualifications which may entitle a person to be registered as a medical practitioner; constitution of the Medical Council of India to advise the Central Government in the matter of recognition or withdrawal of recognition of medical qualifications, to prescribe the minimum standards of medical education required for granting recognised medical qualifications by Universities or Medical Institutions in India and to appoint inspectors and visitors for inspection of any medical institution, college or hospital. It also provides for maintaining the Indian Medical Register and for enrolment of a person possessing recognised medical qualification in the said register and for removal of a person from the said register. That the Central Act does not deal with the registration of medical practitioners in the States and it proceeds on the basis that the said registration and the maintenance of State Medical Register is to be governed by the law made by the State. This Court was of the view that, it cannot, therefore, be said that the Central Act lays down an exhaustive code in respect of the subject matter dealt with by the State Act. it can, however, be said that the Central Act and the State Act, to a limited extent occupy the same field, viz., recognition of medical qualifications which are required for a person to be registered as a medical practitioner in the allopathic system of medicine. Both the enactments make provision for recognition of such qualifications granted by the universities or Page No.# 143/180 medical institutions. In this context, sub-section (1) of Section 15 of the Central Act, i.e. IMC Act, 1956 as well as sub-section (1) of Section 21 of the said Act were referred to and it was observed that the aforesaid provisions contemplated that a person can practise in Allopathic system of medicine in a State or in the country only if he possesses a recognised medical qualification. Permitting a person who does not possess the recognised medical qualification in the Allopathic system of medicine would be in direct conflict with the provisions of the Central Act. That the first proviso to Section 38 of the State Act in so far as it empowers the State Government to permit a person to practise Allopathic system of medicine even though he does not possess the recognised medical qualifications for that system of medicine, is inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 15 and 21 read with Sections 11 and 14 of the IMC Act, 1956 i.e., the Central Act. That the said proviso suffered from the vice of repugnancy in so far as it covered persons who wanted to practice the Allopathic system of medicine and that the same was void to the extent of such repugnancy. That practitioners in the Allopathic system of medicine must, therefore, be excluded from the scope of the first proviso and it must be confined in its application to systems of medicines other than the Allopathic system of medicine. Consequently, this Court allowed the appeal in part.” 41. Upon due consideration the Apex Court also examined the areas covered within the Legislative field of “Coordination and determination of standards” Page No.# 144/180 under Entry 66 of List I. In this context, the Apex Court held as under: “i) Prescription of medium of instruction, vide Gujarat University, Ahmedabad vs. Shri Krishna Ranganath Mudhokar, ii) Recognition/de-recognition of an Institution imparting medical education by laying down standards for medical education vide State of Tamil Nadu us. Adhiyaman Educational and Research Institute; Modern Dental College and Research Centre vs. State of Madhya Pradesh; Chintpurni Medical College and Hospital vs. State of Punjab. iii) Calibre of teaching staff, syllabus to be taught, student-teacher ratio, ratio between the students and the hospital beds available to each student, laboratory facilities, standard of examination, vide Preeti Srivastava vs. State of Madhya Pradesh.” 42. The Apex Court therefore, held: “The Assam Act, which is enacted by the State Legislature on the strength of Entry 25 of List III, not only seeks to introduce a new course in the field of medical education, but also seeks to regulate the profession of the candidates successfully completing the said course. The Assam Act vests with the Regulatory Authority constituted thereunder, the power to prescribe the minimum standards of the course, duration of the course in allopathic medicine the curriculum, the examination etc. Further, it authorises the State Government to grant permission for the opening of a medical institute. Page No.# 145/180 Prescription of minimum standards for medical education, authority to recognise or de-recognise an institution etc., are areas over which exclusive legislative competence lies with the Parliament, under Entry 66 of List I. The State Legislatures, on the other hand, under Entry 25 of List III, possess legislative competence to legislate with respect to all other aspects of education, except the determination of minimum standards and co- ordination. With a view to provide a benchmark quality of medical education, it is essential that uniform standards be laid down by the Parliament, which are to be adhered to by institutions and medical colleges across the country. To this end, Entry 66 of List I has been formulated with the objective of maintaining uniform standards of education in fields of research, higher education and technical education. Hence, State Legislatures lack legislative competence in the areas of prescription of minimum standards for medical education, authority to recognise or de-recognise an institution, etc. The Assam Act which seeks to regulate such aspects of medical education is therefore liable to be set aside on the ground that the State Legislature lacks competence to legislate with regard to the aspects enumerated hereinabove.” 43. The Apex Court thereafter, also considered the vires of the Assam Community Professional (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015, which was enacted by the State of Assam with a view to remove the basis of the impugned judgment and in an attempt to restore the position of the diploma holders. 44. The Apex Court considered the earlier precedents rendered in Indian Aluminium Co. v. State of Kerala (AIR 1996 SC 1431)” Hindustan Gum & Chemicals Ltd. V. State of Haryana reported in Page No.# 146/180 (1985) 4 SCC 124; Sri. Prithvi Cotton Mills Ltd. V. Broach Borough Municipality (AIR 1970 SC 192) to hold that it was permissible for a competent legislature to overcome the effect of decision of the Court amending the relevant provisions of the statute concerned with retrospective effect and thereby, taking away the basis on which the decision of the Court has been rendered and by inactive and appropriate provisions validating the same actions of the State. 45. The Apex Court also referred to the earlier precedence rendered in State of Orissa vs. Oriental Paper Mills Ltd., (AIR 1961 SC 1438); M/s. Misrilal Jain vs. State of Orissa, (AIR 1977 SC 1686); M/s. Tirath Ram Rajindra Nath, Lucknow vs. State of U.P., (AIR 1973 SC 405); State of Himachal Pradesh vs. Narain Singh, reported in (2009) 13 SCC 165 to hold that the defect noticed in a judicial proceedings can be cured by removing the said defect by competent legislative amendments being brought out. The Apex Court held that there is a distinction between encroachment on judicial power and nullification of the effect of a judicial decision by changing the law retrospectively. While the former is outside the competence of the legislature, the letter is within its permissible limits. 46. The Apex Court held that: “The Legislature cannot directly overrule a judicial decision. But when a competent Legislature retrospectively removes the substratum or foundation of a judgment to make the decision ineffective, the said exercise is a valid Page No.# 147/180 legislative exercise provided it does not transgress on any other constitutional limitation, Such legislative device which removes the vice in previous legislation which has been declared unconstitutional is not considered an encroachment on judicial power but an instance of abrogation. The power of the sovereign legislature to legislate within its field, both prospectively and retrospectively cannot be questioned. It would be permissible for the legislature to remove a defect in earlier legislation pointed out by a constitutional court in exercise of its powers by way of judicial review. This defect can be removed both retrospectively and prospectively by a legislative process and the previous actions can also be validated. But where there is a mere validation without the defect being legislatively removed, the legislative action will amount to overruling the judgment by a legislative fiat which is invalid” In the light of the discussions made, the Apex Court dismissed the petition challenging the vires of the Assam Act of 2015. The Apex Court held that it has been enacted with a view to restore the position of the diploma holders in medicine and to give them continuity in service. The said Act has been enacted by a valid legislative exercise, and does not transgress any other constitutional limitation and in accordance with Entry 25 of List III of the Seventh Schedule and is not in conflict with the IM Act, 1956 and the rules and regulations made thereunder as per Entry 66 of List I of the Seventh Schedule. 47. The Apex Court however, limited its finding to the constitutionality of the Assam Act of 2015 holding its non-repugnant with the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956. However, the Apex Court did not render any finding with regard to the potential conflict of provisions of the Assam Act of 2015 with the National Page No.# 148/180 Medical Commission Act of 2019. 48. In this context, the judgment of the Apex Court rendered in State of Manipur and Others Vs. Surajkumar Okram and Others reported in (2022) 19 SCC 723 is very relevant. Before the Apex Court, the judgment dated 17.09.2020 passed in PIL and the writ petition by the Manipur High Court was assailed. By the said judgment the Manipur High Court declared the Manipur Parliamentary Secretary (Appointment, Salary and Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act of 2012 and the Repealing Act of 2018 were declared as unconstitutional by the High Court. Being aggrieved by the judgment, the State of Manipur and Members of the Manipur Legislative Assembly who were appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries have filed the appeals. The Principles which were culled out by the Apex Court when a statute is declared unconstitutional are seminal and are therefore extracted below: “39. The principles that can be deduced from the law laid down by this Court, as referred to above, are: 39.1. A statue which is made by a competent legislature is valid till it is declared unconstitutional by a Court of law. 39.2. After declaration of a statute as unconstitutional by a court of law, it is non est for all purposes. 39.3. In declaration of the law, the doctrine of prospective overruling can be Page No.# 149/180 applied by this Court to save past transactions under earlier decisions superseded or statutes held unconstitutional. 39.4. Relief can be moulded by this Court in exercise of its power under Article 142 of the Constitution, notwithstanding the declaration of a statue as unconstitutional. 40. Therefore, it is clear there is no question of repeal of a statute which has been declared as unconstitutional by a Court. The very declaration by a Court that a statute is unconstitutional obliterates the statute entirely as though it had never been passed. The consequences of declaration of unconstitutionality of a statue have to be dealt with only by the court.” 49. At this stage the relevant judgments pressed into service by the learned counsel for the petitioner may be referred to. 50. The Apex Court held that it was unable to agree with the following observations of this Court in A.K. Sabhapathy (Dr) v. State of Kerala [1992 Supp (3) SCC 147]: (SCC p. 160, para 16) “These provisions contemplate that a person can practise in Allopathic system of medicine in a State or in the country only if he possesses a recognised medical qualification. Permitting a person who does not possess the recognised medical qualification in the Allopathic system of medicine would be in direct conflict with the provisions of the Central Act.” Page No.# 150/180 51. The Apex Court in this judgment held that the Bombay Medical Act, 1912, the Bihar and Orissa Medical Act, 1916, the Punjab Medical Registration Act, 1916, the Rajasthan Medical Act, 1952 and the Maharashtra Medical Council Act, 1965 regulates maintenance of registers of medical practitioners and the entitlement to practise allopathic medicine. Under those Acts, State Medical Registers are maintained. Section 7(3) of the Bombay Act of 1912 enabled the Provincial Government, after consulting the State Medical Council, to permit the registration of any person who was actually practising medicine in the Bombay Presidency before 25-6-1912; this seems to be the only case of registration without the requisite qualification. Further, persons possessing Ayurvidya Visharad of the Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth of Poona, obtained during the years 1921-1935 (which was included in the Schedule to that Act on 30-9-1939 pursuant to Notification No. 3020/33 dated 12-9-1939) were entitled to be registered in the State Medical Register; this is the only ayurvedic qualification on the basis of which persons were eligible to be registered on the State Medical Register in Maharashtra; further with regard to rural areas, the prohibition to practise allopathic medicine under that Act did not apply provided a person had commenced practice in any village in the rural area prior to 1912. None of the petitioners has claimed benefit of these exceptions. This Court could not find any other provision which enables a person, other than those possessing the qualification prescribed in the Schedules to the Acts, to be registered in the State Medical Register to practise allopathic medicine. So it can be observed that if any State law relating to registration of medical practitioners permits practise of allopathic medicine on the basis of a degree in integrated medicines, the bar in Section 15(2)(b) of the 1956 Act will not apply. Page No.# 151/180 (emphasis supplied) 52. In this context it is worthwhile to discuss Mukhtiar Chand (Dr) v. State of Punjab [(1998) 7 SCC 579]. In this case the validity of notifications issued by the State Governments of Punjab and Rajasthan, under Rule 2(ee)(iii) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 whereby the Governments declaring some vaids/hakims as persons practising modern medicines was challenged. Upholding the validity of the notifications and the said Rule, this Court held that, for the purpose of the Drugs Act “what is required is not the qualification in modern scientific system of medicine but a declaration by a State Government that a person is practising modern scientific system and that he is registered in a Medical Register of the State”. (SCC p. 593, para 32) In Dr Mukhtiar Chand [(1998) 7 SCC 579] this Court also clarifies that there could be two registers for medical practitioners i.e. Indian Medical Register and State Medical Register. As far as the State Medical Registers are concerned, the State Government concerned according to the rules will determine the required qualification. While recognizing the rights of vaids or hakims to prescribe allopathic medicines, this Court also took into account the fact that qualified allopathic doctors were not available in rural areas and persons like vaids/hakims are catering to the medical needs of residents in such areas. Hence the provision which allows them to practise modern medicine was found in the public interest. In this context Dr Mukhtiar Chand [(1998) 7 SCC 579] holds that : (SCC pp. 595-96, para 38) “It is thus possible that in any State, the law relating to registration of practitioners of modern scientific medicine may enable a person to be enrolled on Page No.# 152/180 the basis of the qualifications other than the ‘recognized medical qualification’ which is a prerequisite only for being enrolled on the Indian Medical Register but not for registration in a State Medical Register. Even under the 1956 Act, ‘recognized medical qualification’ is sufficient for that purpose. That does not mean that it is indispensably essential. Persons holding ‘recognized medical qualification’ cannot be denied registration in any State Medical Register. But the same cannot be insisted upon for registration in a State Medical Register. However, a person registered in a State Medical Register cannot be enrolled on the Indian Medical Register unless he possesses ‘recognized medical qualification’. This follows from a combined reading of Sections 15(1), 21(1) and 23. So by virtue of such qualifications as prescribed in a State Act and on being registered in a State Medical Register, a person will be entitled to practise allopathic medicine under Section 15(2)(b) of the 1956 Act.” 53. Based on this reasoning the Apex Court partially overruled A.K. Sabhapathy [1992 Supp (3) SCC 147: AIR 1992 SC 1310] which earlier ruled that a person could practise allopathic medicine only if he possessed a recognized medical qualification. In Medical Council of India v. State of Rajasthan [(1996) 7 SCC 731] (two Judges), it was observed that : (SCC p. 732, para 4) “4. It would thus be clear that the basic qualification of MBBS as primary qualification is a precondition for a candidate for being registered in the State Medical Register maintained by the State Board.” 54. Identical view expressed in the decision in A.K. Sabhapathy [1992 Supp (3) SCC 147 : AIR 1992 SC 1310] on the same point having been overruled, this Page No.# 153/180 view in Medical Council of India v. State of Rajasthan [(1996) 7 SCC 731] also stands impliedly overruled. 55. The Division Bench in the impugned judgment relied upon A.K. Sabhapathy [1992 Supp (3) SCC 147 : AIR 1992 SC 1310] to deny the appellants' right to prescribe medicines or to issue sickness or death certificates and held that the appellants do not possess the “recognized medical qualification”. In the light of the ruling in Dr Mukhtiar Chand [(1998) 7 SCC 579] this view of the Division Bench cannot be sustained. 56. In Dr Mukhtiar Chand [(1998) 7 SCC 579] it was pointed out that : (SCC p. 601, para 48) “… because prescribing a drug is a concomitant of the right to practise a system of medicine. Therefore, in a broader sense, the right to prescribe drugs of a system of medicine would be synonymous with the right to practise that system of medicine. In that sense, the right to prescribe an allopathic drug cannot be wholly divorced from the claim to practise allopathic medicine.” 57. In Subhasis Bakshi vs. West Bengal Medical Council reported in (2003) 9 SCC 269, the appellants are validly holding the right to treat certain diseases. So their right to issue prescriptions or certificates cannot be detached from their right to treat. Such right to issue certificates or prescriptions is imbibed in the right to treat. One cannot and shall not be separated from the other. Once the right to treat is recognized, then the right to prescribe medicine or issue Page No.# 154/180 necessary certificate flows from it. Or else the right to treat cannot be completely protected. Hence, even assuming for a moment that the 1915 notification is not there, still the appellants' right to prescribe medicine cannot be denied. In that view of the matter, the order of the Division Bench is set aside and that of the learned Single Judge is restored. Therefore, the respondents were directed to make necessary arrangements to include the names of all the diploma-holders concerned in the State Medical Register for the limited purpose indicated therein within a period of six months from the date of passing the judgment and the appeal was allowed. 58. In K. Madhava Reddy vs. State of Assam reported in (2014) 6 SCC 537 the Apex Court explained that the doctrine of prospective overruling has its origin in American jurisprudence. It was first invoked in this country in Golak Nath v. State of Punjab [Golak Nath v. State of Punjab, AIR 1967 SC 1643] , with this Court proceeding rather cautiously in applying the doctrine, was conscious of the fact that the doctrine had its origin in another country and had been invoked in different circumstances. The Court sounded a note of caution in the application of the doctrine to the Indian conditions as is evident from the following passage appearing in Golak Nath case [Golak Nath v. State of Punjab, AIR 1967 SC 1643] wherein the Apex Court laid down the parameters within which the power could be exercised. The Apex Court held: (AIR p. 1669, para 51) “51. As this Court for the first time has been called upon to apply the doctrine evolved in a different country under different circumstances, we would like to move warily in the beginning. We would lay down the following propositions: (1) Page No.# 155/180 The doctrine of prospective overruling can be invoked only in matters arising under our Constitution; (2) it can be applied only by the highest court of the country i.e. the Supreme Court as it has the constitutional jurisdiction to declare law binding on all the courts in India; (3) the scope of the retroactive operation of the law declared by the Supreme Court superseding its ‘earlier decisions’ is left to its discretion to be moulded in accordance with the justice of the cause or matter before it.” 59. The “doctrine of prospective overruling” was, observed by the Apex Court as a rule of judicial craftsmanship laced with pragmatism and judicial statesmanship as a useful tool to bring about smooth transition of the operation of law without unduly affecting the rights of the people who acted upon the law that operated prior to the date of the judgment overruling the previous law. 60. The law in the present case was, as in Kailash Chand case [Kailash Chand Sharma v. State of Rajasthan, (2002) 6 SCC 562: 2002 SCC (L&S) 935] is in a state of flux. Such being the position, this Court saw no reason why the doctrine of prospective overruling cannot be invoked in the instant case. It was held that just because, the Apex Court had not addressed that question in Jagannadha Rao case [V. Jagannadha Rao v. State of A.P., (2001) 10 SCC 401 : 2002 SCC (L&S) 872] could be no reason for the Apex Court to refuse to do so in the present case. That apart, Jagannadha Rao case [V. Jagannadha Rao v. State of A.P., (2001) 10 SCC 401 : 2002 SCC (L&S) 872] was dealing with a different set of norms comprising GOMs Nos. 14 and 22 referred to earlier. While the basic question whether such GOMs permitting promotion by transfer from one department to the cadre or zone of another may have been the same, it cannot Page No.# 156/180 be denied that the Rules with which the Apex Court was concerned in Jagannadha Rao case [V. Jagannadha Rao v. State of A.P., (2001) 10 SCC 401 : 2002 SCC (L&S) 872] were different from those with which it was dealing in the present case. This Court feel that on the question of application of doctrine of prospective overruling, the judgment in Jagannadha Rao case [V. Jagannadha Rao v. State of A.P., (2001) 10 SCC 401 : 2002 SCC (L&S) 872] will not stand as an impediment for this Court. 61. It was held that the Article 142 empowers the Apex Court to mould the relief to do complete justice. To conclude this point, the purpose of holding that M. Nagaraj [M. Nagaraj v. Union of India, (2006) 8 SCC 212 : (2007) 1 SCC (L&S) 1013] would have prospective effect is only to avoid chaos and confusion that would ensue from its retrospective operation, as it would have a debilitating effect on a very large number of employees, who may have availed of reservation in promotions without there being strict compliance of the conditions prescribed in M. Nagaraj [M. Nagaraj v. Union of India, (2006) 8 SCC 212 : (2007) 1 SCC (L&S) 1013] . Most of them would have already retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation. The judgment of M. Nagaraj [M. Nagaraj v. Union of India, (2006) 8 SCC 212 : (2007) 1 SCC (L&S) 1013] was delivered in 2006, interpreting Article 16(4-A) of the Constitution which came into force in 1995. As making the principles laid down in M. Nagaraj [M. Nagaraj v. Union of India, (2006) 8 SCC 212 : (2007) 1 SCC (L&S) 1013] effective from the year 1995 would be detrimental to the interests of a number of civil servants and would have an effect of unsettling the seniority of individuals over a long period of time, it is necessary that the judgment of M. Nagaraj [M. Nagaraj v. Union of India, (2006) 8 SCC 212 : (2007) 1 SCC (L&S) Page No.# 157/180 1013] should be declared to have prospective effect. 62. In T.N. Medical Officers' Assn. v. Union of India, (2021) 6 SCC 568 the batch of cases came up for hearing before another Bench of three Judges. The Bench was of the opinion [T.N. Medical Officers' Assn. v. Union of India, (2018) 17 SCC 478] that the batch of cases require consideration by a larger Bench and that is how the batch of cases are referred to a larger Bench. On the basis of the submissions made, the following reasons were mentioned: “(i) The decision in Dinesh Singh Chauhan [State of U.P. v. Dinesh Singh Chauhan, (2016) 9 SCC 749 : 8 SCEC 219] has not considered the entries in the legislative lists of the Seventh Schedule, more particularly Entry 66 of the Union List and Entry 25 of the Concurrent List; (ii) The main contention of the petitioners is that while coordination and determination of standards in institutions for higher education falls within the exclusive domain of the Union (List I Entry 66), medical education is a subject in the Concurrent List (List III Entry 25). Though, List III Entry 25 is subject to List I Entry 66, the State is not denuded of its power to legislate on the manner and method of making admissions to postgraduate medical courses; (iii) The contentions which have been raised in the present batch of petitions were not addressed before this Court in Dinesh Singh Chauhan [State of U.P. v. Dinesh Singh Chauhan, (2016) 9 SCC 749 : 8 SCEC 219] ; (iv) The judgment in Dinesh Singh Chauhan [State of U.P. v. Dinesh Singh Page No.# 158/180 Chauhan, (2016) 9 SCC 749 : 8 SCEC 219] does not consider three decisions of the Constitution Bench in R. Chitralekha v. State of Mysore [R. Chitralekha v. State of Mysore, (1964) 6 SCR 368 : AIR 1964 SC 1823] , Chitra Ghosh v. Union of India [Chitra Ghosh v. Union of India, (1969) 2 SCC 228 : 1 SCEC 2] and Modern Dental College & Research Centre v. State of M.P. [Modern Dental College & Research Centre v. State of M.P., (2016) 7 SCC 353 : 7 SCEC 1] ; and (v) There are decisions rendered by Benches of an equal strength as in Dinesh Singh Chauhan [State of U.P. v. Dinesh Singh Chauhan, (2016) 9 SCC 749 : 8 SCEC 219] .” 63. It is settled law that Article 21 of the Constitution of India confers on the citizens of India a fundamental right to life and personal liberty. Right to health is an integral part of the right to life and is a facet of Article 21. In Devika Biswas v. Union of India [Devika Biswas v. Union of India, (2016) 10 SCC 726] , after considering its earlier decisions in CESC Ltd. v. Subhash Chandra Bose [CESC Ltd. v. Subhash Chandra Bose, (1992) 1 SCC 441 : 1992 SCC (L&S) 313] and in Paschim Banga Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State of W.B. [Paschim Banga Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State of W.B., (1996) 4 SCC 37] , it is observed in paras 107, 108 and 109 as under : (Devika Biswas case [Devika Biswas v. Union of India, (2016) 10 SCC 726], SCC pp. 753-54) “107. It is well established that the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution includes the right to lead a dignified and meaningful life and the right to health is an integral facet of this right. In CESC Ltd. v. Subhash Chandra Bose [CESC Ltd. v. Subhash Chandra Bose, (1992) 1 SCC 441 : 1992 SCC (L&S) 313] dealing with the right to health of workers, it was noted that the right to health must be Page No.# 159/180 considered an aspect of social justice informed by not only Article 21 of the Constitution, but also the Directive Principles of State Policy and international covenants to which India is a party. Similarly, the bare minimum obligations of the State to ensure the preservation of the right to life and health were enunciated in Paschim Banga Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State of W.B. [Paschim Banga Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State of W.B., (1996) 4 SCC 37] 108. In Bandhua Mukti Morcha v. Union of India [Bandhua Mukti Morcha v. Union of India, (1984) 3 SCC 161 : 1984 SCC (L&S) 389] , this Court underlined the obligation of the State to ensure that the fundamental rights of weaker sections of society are not exploited owing to their position in society. 109. That the right to health is an integral part of the right to life does not need any repetition.” 64. The sum and substance of the above discussion and conjoint reading of the decisions referred to and discussed hereinabove and the conclusions of the Apex Court are as under: i. That List I Entry 66 is a specific entry having a very limited scope. ii. It deals with “coordination and determination of standards” in higher education. Page No.# 160/180 iii. The words “coordination and determination of standards would mean laying down the said standards. iv. The Medical Council of India which has been constituted under the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 is the creature of the statute in exercise of powers under List I Entry 66 and has no power to make any provision for reservation, more particularly, for in-service candidates by the States concerned, in exercise of powers under List III Entry 25. v. That Regulation 9 of the MCI Regulations, 2000 does not deal with and/or make provisions for reservation and/or affect the legislative competence and authority of the States concerned to make reservation and/or make special provision like the provision providing for a separate source of entry for in-service candidates seeking admission to postgraduate degree courses and therefore the States concerned to be within their authority and/or legislative competence to provide for a separate source of entry for in-service candidates seeking admission to postgraduate degree courses in exercise of powers under List III Entry 25. vi. If it is held that Regulation 9, more particularly, Regulation 9(IV) deals with reservation for in-service candidates, in that case, it will be ultra vires of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and it will be beyond the legislative competence under List I Entry 66. Page No.# 161/180 vii. Regulation 9 of the MCI Regulations, 2000 to the extent tinkering with reservation provided by the State for in-service candidates is ultra vires on the ground that it is arbitrary, discriminatory and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India. viii. That the State has the legislative competence and/or authority to provide for a separate source of entry for in-service candidates seeking admission to postgraduate degree/diploma courses, in exercise of powers under List III Entry 25. However, it is observed that the policy must provide that subsequent to obtaining the postgraduate degree by the in-service doctors concerned obtaining entry in degree courses through such separate channel serve the State in the rural, tribal and hilly areas at least for five years after obtaining the degree/diploma and for that they will execute bonds for such sum the respective States may consider fit and proper. ix. It is specifically observed and clarified that the present decision shall operate prospectively and any admissions given earlier taking a contrary view shall not be affected by this judgment. 65. In Sivanandan C.T –vs- High court of Kerela reported in (2024) 3 SCC 799 the Apex Court discussed that the Indian Courts in 1990s incorporated the doctrine of legitimate expectation in the context of procedural fairness and non- arbitrariness under Article 14 of the Constitution. In Food Corpn. of Page No.# 162/180 India v. Kamdhenu Cattle Feed Industries [Food Corpn. of India v. Kamdhenu Cattle Feed Industries, (1993) 1 SCC 71] , it was held that public authorities have a duty to use their powers for the purposes of public good. This duty raises a legitimate expectation on the part of the citizens to be treated in a fair and non-arbitrary manner in their interactions with the State and its instrumentalities. It was held that a decision taken by an executive authority without considering the legitimate expectation of an affected person may amount to an abuse of power : (SCC p. 76, para 7) “7. … To satisfy this requirement of non-arbitrariness in a State action, it is, therefore, necessary to consider and give due weight to the reasonable or legitimate expectations of the persons likely to be affected by the decision or else that unfairness in the exercise of the power may amount to an abuse or excess of power apart from affecting the bona fides of the decision in a given case. The decision so made would be exposed to challenge on the ground of arbitrariness. Rule of law does not completely eliminate discretion in the exercise of power, as it is unrealistic, but provides for control of its exercise by judicial review.” 66. The Apex Court held that whether the expectation of a claimant is legitimate or not is a question of fact which has to be decided after weighing the claimant's expectation against the larger public interest. Thus, while dealing with the claims of legitimate expectations, the court has to necessarily balance the legitimate expectation of a claimant against the larger public interest. 67. The principle of fairness in action requires that public authorities be held accountable for their representations, since the State has a profound impact on Page No.# 163/180 the lives of citizens. Good administration requires public authorities to act in a predicable manner and honour the promises made or practices established unless there is a good reason not to do so. In Nadarajah [R. (Nadarajah) v. Secy. of State for the Home Deptt., 2005 EWCA Civ 1363] , Laws, L.J. held that the public authority should objectively justify that there is an overriding public interest in denying a legitimate expectation. It was held that for a public authority to frustrate a claim of legitimate expectation, it must objectively demonstrate by placing relevant material before the court that its decision was in the public interest. This standard is consistent with the principles of good administration which require that State actions must be held to scrupulous standards to prevent misuse of public power and ensure fairness to citizens. 68. In Union of India –vs- Bharat Forge Ltd reported in 2022 SCC online SC 1018 the Apex Court elaborately discussed that a writ of mandamus or a direction, in the nature of a writ of mandamus, is not to be withheld, in the exercise of powers of Article 226 on any technicalities. This is subject only to the indispensable requirements being fulfilled. There must be a public duty. While the duty may, indeed, arise form a statute ordinarily, the duty can be imposed by common charter, common law, custom or even contract. The fact that a duty may have to be unravelled and the mist around it cleared before its shape is unfolded may not relieve the Court of its duty to cull out a public duty in a statute or otherwise, if in substance, it exists. Equally, mandamus would lie if the Authority, which had a discretion, fails to exercise it and prefers to act under dictation of another Authority. Page No.# 164/180 69. A writ of mandamus or a direction in the nature thereof had been given a very wide scope in the conditions prevailing in this country and it is to be issued wherever there is a public duty and there is a failure to perform and the courts will not be bound by technicalities and its chief concern should be to reach justice to the wronged. We are not dilating on or diluting other requirements, which would ordinarily include the need for making a demand unless a demand is found to be futile in circumstances, which have already been catalogued in the earlier decisions of this Court. 70. After a careful perusal of the judgment of the Apex Court it is seen that there was no finding recorded that the training and the course undergone by the petitioners in the Medical Institute at Jorhat at the time they have conferred Diploma course in Medicine and Rural Health Care and they were engaged under N.H.M. till the Act of 2004 was constitutionally invalid or the course materials and the subjects taught or the infrastructure in the Medical Institute at Jorhat or the faculty members who were imparting the Diploma course along with required training were found to be deficient in any manner or that they fell short of the standards prescribed under the Indian Medical Council Act 1956 or the ARHRA Act of 2004. Therefore, notwithstanding that the petitioners as also the other candidates who had successfully completed the diploma course in Medicine and Rural Health Care and were placed under the services of various NRHM (now NHM), the only ground in not permitting the petitioners to practice as “Rural Health Practitioners” and offer medical services is because of the fact that the Act of 2004 was held to be constitutionally invalid by the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court and which judgment was upheld by the Apex Court. Page No.# 165/180 71. Page No.# 165/180 71. Although the SLP preferred by the State came to be dismissed by the Apex Court but the Apex Court did not accept the reasons on the basis of which the Act was constitutionally invalid by the Division Bench. In so far as the challenge to the Act of 2015 is concerned the Apex Court upheld the constitutional vires of Act of 2015 and had specifically concluded at para 25 (iv) of the said judgment that the IMC, Act, 1956 does not deal with the “Community Health Professionals” who practiced as allopathic practioners in the manner as they were permitted to practise under the Assam Act (the earlier Act of 2004) in the rural areas of the State of Assam and therefore, by a separate legislation Act of 2015, the Community Health Professional have been permitted to act as such professionals and as such the legislation of 2015 is not in conflict with Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder and also that the Act of 2015 is not hit by entry 66 of list 1 of the Constitution and is therefore, within the legislative competence of the State Legislature. 72. The affidavit filed by the Health Department also does not dispute the averments made in writ petition that by Government notification No.HLB184/2014/234 dated 24.07.2015 those who had completed Diploma in Medicine and Rural Health Care courses in the Medical Institute at Jorhat were notified as “Community Health Officer” (CHO) subject to submission of Certificate of registration in B.Sc. (Community Health Professional) issued by the Director of Medical Education in different medical sub-centers and these petitioners were employed as “Community Health Officer” under N.H.M. 73. An additional affidavit was also filed by the petitioners to bring on record Page No.# 166/180 various minutes and communications of the Health Department in this connection. However, it is also seen that the opinion of the learned Advocate General of the State which was forwarded to the Director of Medical Education has also been included in the affidavit. This Court takes a serious note of this affidavit and expresses its strong displeasure that the opinion of the Advocate General of the State rendered to its client namely the Health department of the State Government has been enclosed in an additional affidavit filed by the petitioners without disclosing the sources as to how they had access to such a copy as from the said opinion also it is not discernible that copies were issued or required to be circulated to the petitioners. Such conduct of the Advocate on the record of the petitioners is deprecated. However, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners as also the Advocate on record had profusely apologized during the hearing for this misdemeanor with the assurance that such mistakes will not be repeated in future. On such assurances this Court does not wish to proceed any further in this matter. 74. In the said additional affidavit encloses the minutes of a meeting held on 22.06.2023 in the Office of the Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department. The following observations were recorded in the said minutes: “1. Although as stated in Para 25 (iv) of the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgement dated 24/01/2023 "Community Health Professionals who would practice as allopathic practioners in the manner as they were permitted in practice under the Assam Act, in rural areas of the State of Assam", Director of Medical Education, Assam stated that allowing the Community Health Officers (Rural Health Practioners) to practice as Allopathic Practitioners would be against the ethics of Page No.# 167/180 National Medical Commission. Moreover, they do not have requisite registration under NMC nor eligible qualifications as the study course of both the posts are different. 2. However, Director of Medical Education, Assam suggested that the Govt. may think of post creation for providing them permanent employment in PHCs, Rural Sub-centres with promotional avenues as they are presently employed under NHM contractually. 3. Controller of Examinations suggested of creating a separate council which will provide them separate registration nos. instead of agreeing to their demand of providing them with a registration nos. of a registered Allopathic Practitioner which will be controversial as they cannot get registered under NMC. 4. However, Executive Director, National Health Mission had informed that creation of separate council will only help Govt. to keep a head count of RHPs and that providing them with separate registration nos. will only fulfill the urge of them practicing as Allopathic doctors which might be contentious. However, he suggested that promotion to the existing RPs may be provided by creating senior posts. 5. Joint Secretary, H & FW Deptt. suggested that of their other demands, nomenclature, re-designation and streamlining their role and responsibilities in Sub-centres may be looked upon by the Govt. in order to demarcate them from the nurses who also fall under Community Health Professionals. 6. Further, Secretary, H & F W Deptt. suggested to go by and stick to NMC Act Page No.# 168/180 and stated that decisions are to be made after threadbare discussion without violating the guidelines of the said Act and therefore in view of above, another meeting has been scheduled on 12/07/2023 (Wednesday) in order to come to conclusion.” 75. This was followed by another meeting held on 12.07.2023. Where the following decisions arrived at: “1. After careful consideration of the matter, the Secretary, Health & Family Welfare Department was of the opinion that the demand of the Community Health Officer Association of re-designation from Community Health Officer to Additional Medical Officer (as per Subhasis Bakshi vs State of West Bengal case) may not be entertained. As per the suggestions put forth by the Controller of Examinations, O/o DME, Assam, and the Vice Principal, GMCH, the roles and responsibilities of the Community Health Professionals are to be kept in line with The Assam Community Health Professionals' (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015' 2. As decided by the Committee members, the Community Health are required to follow clinical competencies as well as public health and general competencies as mentioned in The Assam Community Health Professionals' (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015'. 3. The committee had discussed also about the creation of a separate registration Council. Under this Council, Community Health Professionals will be provided a license to practice, subject to rules and regulations as per The Assam Community Health Professionals' (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015'. Page No.# 169/180 4. The Areas of Jurisdiction of the Community Health Professionals shall be at the Sub-centre level and any other places as may be determined by the Government from time to time. Permanent employment/posts cannot be assured to the Community Health Officers. However, they are to continue working contractually with fixed pay and increment as per existing procedure. 6. Consequently, the Joint Secretary, H&FW Dept. suggested that she, along with DME, Assam, will have a discussion on framing the skeleton of the Rules to be made against the aforesaid Act, 2015. After finalizing the skeleton, the Committee members will be sent a copy for their views and comments regarding the same. 7. Lastly, in view of the above, another meeting has been scheduled on 27/07/2023 (Thursday) in order to come to a conclusion.” 76. Subsequent thereto, another meeting was held on 27.07.2023 in the office chamber of Secretary, Health & Family Welfare Department. In the said meeting, the following decisions were arrived at. “1. After careful consideration of the matter, the committee decided to abide by the existing rules of The Assam Community Health Professionals' (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015', as it is a valid piece of Legislation and is not in conflict with the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and has removed the basis of the impugned judgement passed by the Gauhati High Court. 2. Whereas, the Committee was of the opinion that although it can be read as "This is because the Central Act namely, IMC, Act, 1956 does not deal with Community Health Professionals who would practice as allopathic practitioners Page No.# 170/180 in the manner as they were permitted to practice under the Assam Act, in rural areas of the State of Assam" in Para 25 (iv) of the Supreme Court judgement, however, the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004 (Assam Act, 2004) has already been declared to be null and void in view of the IMC Act, 1956 and the rules and regulations made thereunder, considering the Assam Legislature not having the legislative competence to enact the said Law. 3. Further, since the Community Health Professionals have already been designated as Community Health Officers vide The Assam Community Health Professionals' (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015', therefore the matter of re-designation is not to be considered. 4. The Committee was however of the opinion that promotional benefit may be given to the concerned Community Health Officers having requisite qualification of Rural Health Practioners i.e. upgradation to the post of "Senior Community Health Officer' once they complete 15 years of service in the Health Sector. 5. Consequently, the Community Health Officers may continue to work contractually with fixed pay and increment as per existing procedure. 6. The roles and responsibilities of the Community Health Officers are to be kept in line with The Assam Community Health Professionals' (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015' alongwith the clinical competencies as well as public health and general competencies as mentioned in said Act, 2015. 7. The Areas of Jurisdiction of the Community Health Professionals shall be at Page No.# 171/180 the Sub-centre level and Health and Wellness Centres or any other places as may be determined by the Government from time to time.” 77. From this minutes it is evident that the State Government at a relevant point in time had undertaken the process for granting the benefits to the writ petitioners in terms of the judgment of the Apex Court. For reasons not explained, this process although not concluded, appears to have been abandoned halfway. During the hearing also, sufficient opportunities were granted to the Department of Health & Family Welfare to apprise the Court as to the decisions taken or likely to be taken in terms of the meetings which were earlier held by the committee itself. However, no specific instructions were placed before the Court with regard to the status of the committee and/or any conclusive decisions or recommendations were arrived at by the said committee. 78. The prayers made by the writ petitioners in the writ petition are for direction to the respondents to notify the petitioners and allopathic practitioners in the manner they were permitted under the Act of 2004 in the rural areas of the State of Assam. A further direction is sought for towards the declaration that the present registration numbers of the petitioners as indicated under Section 3 of the Assam Community Health Professionals’ (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015 should be meant to declare the petitioners as allopathic practitioners in terms of paragraph No. 25(iv) of the judgment dated 24.01.2023 passed by the Apex Court in SLP(C) 32592-93 of 2015. A further direction is sought for towards issuance of the mandamous to the respondents to frame rules, regulations and an appropriate scheme in respect of the petitioners as allopathic practitioners in terms of the paragraph 25(iv) of the said judgment. Another Page No.# 172/180 prayer in the petition is for a direction to the respondents to formulate a scheme like a condensed MBBS course for the petitioners as a onetime measure so as to continue and complete the studies to meet the standards of a recognized medical qualification as envisaged under the National Medical Commission Act of 2019 and a further direction to create permanent posts as stipulated in terms of file No.HLA/628/2010/39 for the petitioners and thereby create a separate cadre with payment, financial benefits including Basic Pay, Grade Pay, medical allowance and all other service benefits. 79. The petitioners had undergone the training as envisaged under the erstwhile ARHRA Act of 2004 in terms of the procedure prescribed therein. There was a proper advertisement to which the petitioners applied for along with other similarly situated candidates were scrutinized and selected and permitted to undergo the training in the institute at Jorhat, which has now been subsequently upgraded to a Medical College & Hospital. Even during the PIL which was filed before the High Court, the writ petition being WP(C) No.5789 of 2005, being Indian Medical Association versus the State of Assam and Ors filed before the Court, the petitioners were never arrayed as respondents. There was no restraint on the courses undergone by the writ petitioners by the Court or by the State during the pendency of the writ petition. It cannot under any circumstances be understood to be the deficiency or fault of the writ petitioners in undergoing the courses and not resorting to any other vocational or professional course available, inasmuch as the same was initiated by the State of Assam, under a statute being the ARHRA Act of 2004, which was put to challenge in the Indian Medical Association matter before the Gauhati High Court, the writ petitioners had successfully completed their courses and were Page No.# 173/180 engaged as Rural Health Practitioners and were given the proper registration and responsibilities and research under the Act. 80. 80. It was at this stage, that the Gauhati High Court by order dated 30.10.2014 came to interfere with and set aside the ARHRA Act of 2004 as ultra vires. It was held by the Division Bench of this Court that the ARHRA Act is in conflict with the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act and was therefore, held to be unconstitutional. There was no clear direction as to the status of the present writ petitioners and other similarly situated persons and to the diplomas which they had earned under a statute which was validly enacted by the legislature of the State till the time it was struck down by the judgment and order dated 30.10.2014 passed in WP(C) No. 5789 of 2005. 81. The Apex Court on the appeal preferred by the State as also by some of the affected persons had extensively discussed the matters and had given very clear directions as enumerated in Para 25 onwards. For convenience, the same conclusions are extracted below: 25. In the result, we arrive at the following conclusions: (i) Entry 25 of List III of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India deals with the subject education which is in the Concurrent List under which both the Parliament or the Union Legislature as well as the State Legislatures have legislative competence to legislate. However, Entry 25 of List III is subject to, inter alia, Entry 66 of List I which is the Union List. Entry 66 of List I deals with coordination and determination of standards in institutions for higher education or research and scientific and technical Page No.# 174/180 institutions. Thus, when any law is made under Entry 25 of List III by a State Legislature, the same is always subject to Entry 66 of List I. In other words, if any law made by the Parliament comes within the scope of Entry 66 of List I, then the State Legislation would have to yield to the Parliamentary law. Thus, where one Entry is made “subject to” another Entry, it would imply that, out of the scope of the former Entry, a field of legislation covered by the latter Entry has been reserved to be specifically dealt with by the appropriate legislature. (ii) In the instant case, it is held that the IMC Act, 1956 is a legislation made by the Parliament for the purpose of coordination and determination of standards in medical education throughout the Country. The said law, along with the Rules and Regulations made thereunder are for the purpose of determination of standards of medical education throughout India. Thus, determination of standards in medical education in India is as per the IMC Act, 1956 which is a Central Law. This is in respect of modern medicine or allopathic medicine within the scope of Entry 66 of List I and not under Entry 25 of List III of the Seventh Schedule. Therefore, a State Legislature which passes a law in respect of allopathic medicine or modern medicine would be subject to the provisions of the IMC Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. This would imply that no State Legislature has the legislative competence to pass any law which would be contradictory to or would be in direct conflict with the IMC Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. In other words, the standard in medical education insofar as modern medicine or allopathy is concerned, having been set by the IMC Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder or by any subsequent Act in that regard, such as the Medical Council of India Act, 2019, the State Legislature has no legislative competence to enact a law which is in conflict with the law setting the standards of medical education in the context of modern medicine or allopathic medicine, which has been determined by Parliamentary Legislation as well as the Rules. In other words, a State Legislature has no legislative competence to enact Page No.# 175/180 a law in respect of modern medicine or allopathic medicine contrary to the said standards that have been determined by the Central Law. In view of the above conclusion, we hold that decision of the Gauhati High Court holding that the Assam Act to be null and void, is just and proper. However, the Gauhati High Court has held that the State had no legislative competence to enact the Assam Act in view of Article 254 of the Constitution on the premise that the IMC Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder were holding the field and hence, on the basis of the doctrine of occupied field, the Assam Act was struck down as being repugnant to the Central Law. In view of the aforesaid conclusion, we are of the view that the said reasoning is incorrect. It is reiterated that the IMC Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder, which are all Central legislations, have been enacted having regard to Entry 66 of List I and would prevail over any State Law made by virtue of Entry 25 of List III of the Constitution. (iii) Hence, in view of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder, the Assam Act, namely, the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004, is declared to be null and void, in view of the Assam Legislature not having the legislative competence to enact the said Law. (iv) Consequently, the subsequent legislation, namely, the Assam Act of 2015 i.e., the Assam Community Professionals (Registration and Competency) Act, 2015, enacted pursuant to the judgment of the Gauhati High Court, is a valid piece of Legislation as it has removed the basis of the impugned judgment passed by the Gauhati High Court. The 2015 Act is also not in conflict with the IMC, Act, 1956. This is because the Central Act namely, IMC, Act, 1956 does not deal with Community Health Professionals who would practise as allopathic practitioners in the manner as they were permitted to Page No.# 176/180 practise under the Assam Act, in rural areas of the State of Assam. Hence, by a separate legislation the Community Health Professionals have been permitted to practise as such professionals. The said legislation of 2015 is not in conflict with IMC, Act, 1956 and the rules and regulations made thereunder. Hence, the Act of 2015 is not hit by Entry 66 of List I of the Constitution and is within the legislative competence of the State Legislature under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. 26. In the result, the Civil Appeals arising out of SLP(C) Nos. 32592-32593 of 2015 as well as TC (C) No. 24 of 2018 and TC (C) No. 25 of 2018 stand dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.” 82. The Apex Court went on to hold that the Act of 2015 is not in conflict with the Indian Medical Council Act and therefore, the legislature had the competence to enact the Act of 2015. 83. The Apex Court did not accept the conclusions of the Gauhati High Court that the State had no legislative competence to enact the Assam Act in view of Article 254 of the Constitution on the premise that the Indian Medical Council Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder were holding the field and therefore, on the basis of the doctrine of occupied field the legislature of the State had lacked competence and consequently the Assam Act was struck down. However, the Apex Court did not accept the said reason. 84. Reading Para 25(iv) of the judgment of the Apex Court, it is clear that the Apex Court had impliedly applied the doctrine of prospective overruling by holding that the subsequent piece of legislation, namely the Assam Act of 2015 Page No.# 177/180 is a valid piece of legislation as it has removed the basis of the judgment of the Gauhati High Court and that the said Act is not in conflict with the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 inasmuch as the IMC Act of 1956 does not deal with Community Health Professionals who practice as allopathic practitioners in the manner they were permitted to practice under the Assam Act, in rural areas of the State of Assam. Hence, by a separate legislation, the Community Health Professionals have been permitted to practice as professionals. It was held that the Act of 2015 is not hit by entry 66 or list 1 of the Constitution and is therefore, within the legislative competence of the State legislature under the 7th Schedule of the Constitution. 85. Therefore, the penultimate directions of the Apex Court by the order dated 24.01.2023 passed in SLP(C) No.32592-32593 of 2015, makes it very clear that the benefit accrued to the writ petitioners by virtue of their diplomas and the training which they had earned under the erstwhile Act of 2004 has been given to the writ petitioners. Therefore, by applying the doctrine of prospective overruling, the Apex Court has protected the writ petitioners insofar as their stature as Rural Health Professionals is concerned by accepting the fresh nomenclature as Community Health Professionals. 86. The Apex Court had interpreted that the Rural Health Practitioners under the erstwhile ARHRA Act of 2004, will continue to be treated as such, notwithstanding the change in the nomenclature as Community Health Practitioners under the Act of 2015. The diplomas and the training and also the exposure earned by the Rural Health Practitioners under the erstwhile Act of Page No.# 178/180 2004 cannot be taken away. In the specific findings by the Apex Court, the State must take all steps to retain the status of these Rural Health Practitioners, notwithstanding the change in the nomenclature as community health professionals under the new Act of 2015. The State cannot restrict the writ petitioners from rendering their services in the manner they earlier served as Rural Health Practitioners, notwithstanding the change in the nomenclature as Community Health Professionals. 87. In a country of 1.47 billion people of which about 62.5% to 63% reside in the rural areas bringing the rural population to roughly 922 to 930 million people, it is paramount in national interest that qualified professionals who are capable of rendering essential health services in terms of the standards specified and/or enumerated by the health department. That step should be taken to ensure qualified health professionals to be made available to such areas in addition to the regular doctors under allopathy, homeopathy, aayurvedic as considered necessary by the State. While it is true that the rural population must be given the best and the highest medical facilities to the extent available, it is equally important to involve local population who may be willing to undergo such training and attain such qualification as laid down by the State and render such services to the rural population as involvement of members of the local rural community will subserve the interest of better health care to such rural communities which are particularly not having access to specialized or higher medical institutions or facilities. The State Health Department in conjunction with the Central Health Department will be better suited to lay down such criteria and modalities to ensure that the Rural Health Practitioners and/or the Community Health Practitioners are sufficiently Page No.# 179/180 equipped and trained to render at least a basic medical health care in rural areas in addition to qualified doctors who are holding registration and affiliated to the National Medical Council Act. 88. The State will therefore expedite the process for the recommendations sought for from the committee which was already constituted and which had undertaken several meetings and thereafter lay down such criteria and modalities and requirements as may be deemed necessary so that the Rural Health Practitioners/Community Health Practitioners are permitted to undertake their responsibilities as was envisaged under the erstwhile Act of 2004 and the status of which has been duly considered and taken note of by the Apex Court in the judgment and order dated 24.01.2023 passed in SLP(C) No.32592-32593 of 2015, more particularly in terms of the directions at paragraph 25(iv). In the event of any of the constituent Committee members are required to be re- notified, the State Health Department will accordingly take such steps and issue such notifications without further delay. Once these recommendations are laid down, they shall be submitted through the appropriate department and laid before the concerned appropriate authority in the State, so that the directions of the Apex Court in the said judgment and order dated 24.01.2023 passed in SLP(C) No.32592-32593 of 2015 are complied with expeditiously and without further delay. It is also made clear that the recommendations will also work out a separate cadre for the Rural Health Practitioners/Community Health Professionals with complete particulars in respect of their pay, the grade, the health benefits, all service benefits with avenues for due promotion where required. 89. Let the constituted Committee consider the matter in its entirety and Page No.# 180/180 submit its set of recommendations within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. The State will thereafter, consider the recommendations and pass appropriate orders for its implementation to ensure that the findings of the Apex Court in the judgment and order dated 24.01.2023 passed in SLP(C) No.32592-32593 of 2015 more particularly, those in paragraph No. 25(iv) are given effect to. 90. This writ petition stands allowed to the extent indicated above and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
