# Bombay High Court Tells Maharashtra Resident Doctors to End Strike 2026-08-06T11:16:59+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bombay High Court directed Maharashtra resident doctors to end their strike and return to work after protests over registration for homoeopathic practitioners trained in modern pharmacology. The court warned that salaries could be stopped and expressed concern about patients, including those needing intensive care. The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors and the Indian Medical Association subsequently announced that the strike would be called off. The doctors oppose Maharashtra’s decision to let eligible BHMS practitioners register with the Maharashtra Medical Council and prescribe specified modern medicines after a Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology. They say this could blur professional standards. The government says the process follows existing legal provisions. The court assured doctors that their concerns would be heard in the pending case. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - thehindu.com - indiatvnews.com - thehindu.com Tags: Bombay High Court, homoeopathy, Maharashtra, medical regulation, resident doctors Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bombay-high-court-directs-maharashtra-resident-doctors-to-end-strike/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
