# Maharashtra doctors call off strike after Bombay High Court intervention 2026-08-06T15:30:19+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Maharashtra resident doctors and the Indian Medical Association withdrew their strike on Thursday after the Bombay High Court took suo motu cognisance of the disruption and directed doctors to resume work after lunch. Routine hospital services, including OPDs, were expected to return to normal. The court also told the state to expedite its August 3 government resolution on registering homeopaths trained under the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology. The dispute concerns Maharashtra’s move to grant conditional Maharashtra Medical Council registration to BHMS graduates who complete the one-year course, allowing limited allopathic prescribing. The IMA says the course lacks approval from national regulators and that dual registration could confuse patients. The legal challenge remains pending. The IMA has warned of a nationwide strike if the state does not withdraw the move. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - indiatvnews.com - health.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: allopathy, Bombay High Court, doctors' strike, homeopathy, Maharashtra Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/maharashtra-ima-ends-strike-after-bombay-high-court-intervention/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
