Different Age For Superannuation Of Allopathic, Ayurvedic Doctors Violative Of Article 14 Of Constitution: Rajasthan HC Holds

The Court cited Supreme Court judgment in North Delhi Municipal Corporation Vs. Dr. Ram Naresh Sharma & Ors. reported in 2021 SCC ONLINE SC 540 wherein it was held that, "The only difference is that AYUSH doctors are using indigenous systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani, etc. and CHS doctors are using Allopathy for tending to their patients. In our understanding, the mode of treatment by itself under the prevalent scheme of things, does not qualify as an intelligible differentia. Therefore, such unreasonable classification and discrimination based on it would surely be inconsistent with Article 14 of the Constitution."
