IN this case complainant had approached Dr. Sher Singh for treatment of fewer and swollen lips. Dr. Khan an Ayurvedic physician-Vaidya administered an injection to his left arm which resulted in swelling, pain and numbness. The District Forum awarded Rs. 50,000 as compensation. State Commission confirmed the order of the District Forum and dismissed the appeal. Hence the revision petition. This case is squarely covered by the judgment of the Apex Court in Poonam Verma v. Ashwin Patel & Ors., AIR 1996 SC 2111, para 39, wherein the Hon''ble Supreme Court has held that Homeopathist practising Allopathy is a contravention of the Indian Medical Council Act and is an actionable negligence. Accordigly, revision petition is dismissed. R.P. dismissed.
