Hon'ble Supreme Court Directs: The AYUSH doctors are entitled to equal pay as Allopathy doctors

The Hon'ble Supreme Court has ordered that the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) and allopathy doctors working in government hospitals are entitled to get equal pay and discriminating between the two amounts to violation of right to quality under Article 14 Constitution of India.

The Supreme Court Bench of Justices Vineet Saran and JK Maheshwari upheld the Uttarakhand High Court judgement by setting aside the State government's move to grant different pay for AYUSH and allopathy doctors.

The Hon'ble Supreme Court was hearing a special leave petition filed by the Uttarakhand government against the High Court ruling that had said that AYUSH and allopathic doctors both are entitled to equal wages and there should be no descrimination between the two.

After hearing the plea by the petitioners, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has given judgement and directed that both the AYUSH doctors and Allopathy doctors are entitled to receive equal pay with no descrimination between them.
