They are all<br \/>\nregistered with the Chief Medical Officer. All the petitioners are<br \/>\nresiding and carrying on their medical practice in their residential<br \/>\nhouse Nos. C-160, A-241 &amp; A-242, C-165, C-9 &amp; C-163 in Awas &amp;<br \/>\nVikas Colony in District Etawah. They have challenged the notices<br \/>\nissued by the Chief Medical Officer, informing them that the<br \/>\nclinics\/hospitals\/nursing homes run by them in the residential houses<br \/>\nin Awas Evam Vikas Colony Etawah is against the Rules of the UP<br \/>\nAwas Evam Vikas Parishad. Their registration has been suspended<br \/>\nforthwith and they have been directed to close the medical facility<br \/>\nrun in the residential houses, within 30 days and to inform him about<br \/>\nthe change of the place of their clinics\/hospitals\/nursing homes,<br \/>\nfailing which proceedings will be taken to cancel their registration.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    Shri Arvind Srivastava submits that the petitioners are<br \/>\nqualified medical practitioners. They are registered with the Medical<br \/>\nCouncil of U.P. and with the Chief Medical Officer under the orders<br \/>\nof the High Court. They are running their clinics and carrying on<br \/>\ntheir medical practice in the residential houses in the colony. No one<br \/>\nhad made complaint against their professional activity. The Chief<br \/>\nMedical Officer, Etawah, has, on his own, without there being any<br \/>\ncomplaint in writing from any person, on an information received<br \/>\nfrom the UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad, given notices to the<br \/>\npetitioners and suspended their registration. Shri Srivastava submits<br \/>\nthat the medical facilities provided by the petitioners from their<br \/>\nresidential houses are not prohibited by any law. The petitioners as<br \/>\nqualified doctors have fundamental right under Article 19 (1) (g) of<br \/>\nthe Constitution of India to carry on their profession at any place of<br \/>\ntheir choice. The registration with the Medical Council of Uttar<br \/>\nPradesh authorises them to run their clinics\/nursing homes\/hospitals,<br \/>\nand to offer diagnostic facilities, which are part of professional<br \/>\nservices. The Chief Medical Officer has no authority to suspend their<br \/>\nregistration. He submits that the UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad has<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>not framed any by-laws or regulations referable to UP Awas Evam<br \/>\nVikas Parisahd Act, which may restrict their right to carry on the<br \/>\nmedical profession and to treat patients in the residential houses.<br \/>\nShri Arvind Srivastava submits that all the medical doctors are<br \/>\nbound by the ethics of their profession. They have to treat patients<br \/>\naccording their knowledge and ability and for that purpose they also<br \/>\nrequire diagnostic equipments and techniques as such the x-ray<br \/>\nmachines, ultrasound, pathology and a place equipped for carrying<br \/>\non surgeries. They are also entitled to and are bound to provide in-<br \/>\nhouse facilities for admitting patients with serious illness and for pre<br \/>\nand post operative care. The petitioners are abiding by all the<br \/>\nconditions imposed on them by law. There is no restriction to<br \/>\nprovide these facilities, which are essential to their profession in the<br \/>\nresidential houses purchased by them or built by them in the colonies<br \/>\ndeveloped by UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    Shri Chandra Shekher Singh appearing for U.P. Awas Evam<br \/>\nVikas Parishad has filed an affidavit of Shri Probodh Kumar,<br \/>\nAssistant Engineer, Uttar Pradesh Awas Evam Vikas Parishad,<br \/>\nConstruction Division 18, (Sub Division Etawah), Kanpur, in which<br \/>\nit is stated that each allottee of the UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad of<br \/>\na house or a residential plot has to enter into an agreement with the<br \/>\nParishad. As per the agreement there is a restriction that the allottee<br \/>\nwill not change the user of the land\/house. All the petitioners and<br \/>\nother doctors living in the colonies of Awas Evam Vikas Parishad,<br \/>\nwere allotted plots in the residential schemes or have purchased the<br \/>\nplots from the original allottees. All of them had executed purchase<br \/>\nagreement\/sale deeds under which they cannot have a better title<br \/>\nthan the original allottees. All the doctors have admitted before the<br \/>\nChief Medical Officer in the declaration furnished by them for<br \/>\nregistration that they are only providing consultancy. In the joint<br \/>\ninspection carried out in pursuance to the orders of the High Court<br \/>\non 8.12.2009, it was found that apart from running their clinics all<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the doctors are using the residential accommodation for running<br \/>\ndiagnostic clinics and that some of them are also admitting patients.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.    Shri C.S. Singh submits that the original allottees, under<br \/>\nwhich the petitioners are claiming their rights had agreed to a<br \/>\ncondition under clause 2 (d) that the allottee\/purchaser under hire<br \/>\npurchase scheme will not use the property, for business or commerce<br \/>\nwithout the written permission of the owner. They had agreed not<br \/>\nuse the premise for any purpose other than residential purposes and<br \/>\nnot to carry out any activity in the house which, in the opinion of<br \/>\nother residents of the colony, is against public interest, or for any<br \/>\npurpose other than the purpose for which the colony has been<br \/>\ndeveloped.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    Shri C.S. Singh submits that Shri Deepak Kumar, Housing<br \/>\nCommissioner by his letter dated 30.3.2009 informed all the<br \/>\nExecutive Engineers (Competent Authorities) of UP Awas Evam<br \/>\nVikas Parishad in U.P., for taking effective steps against<br \/>\nunauthorised constructions and change of land use. In paragraphs 10<br \/>\nof this letter he directed that where the property is being used for<br \/>\nnursing home\/hospital, medicine shops etc., a request should be<br \/>\nmade to Chief Medical Officer to cancel the licence. The letter also<br \/>\nprovided for restriction on the user of the premises as school, hotel<br \/>\nand for any purpose other than the purpose for which the plot\/house<br \/>\nwas allotted. The Chief Medical Officer, Etawah informed the<br \/>\nExecutive Engineer, Construction Division 12, UP Awas Evam<br \/>\nVikas Parishad, Hamirpur Road, Kanpur, that a number of doctors<br \/>\nincluding Dr. Suman Singh resident of A-242 are running nursing<br \/>\nhomes in residential houses. He has required the Executive Engineer<br \/>\nto furnish the necessary documents with regard to the conditions<br \/>\nunder which the house was allotted.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    Dr. Kamal Kumar, Medical Officer, Community Health<br \/>\nCentre, Bharthana, Etawah has filed a counter affidavit on behalf of<br \/>\nthe State. He has referred to the circular letter issued by the UP<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Awas Evam Vikas Parishad dated 30.3.2009, requesting the Chief<br \/>\nMedical Officer to take notice of those nursing homes\/clinics which<br \/>\nare being run in residential colonies, and which is not permissible<br \/>\nunder law. In pursuance of the directions issued by the High Court<br \/>\ninspections were made and in which it was found that medical<br \/>\ndoctors occupying the residential houses are not running clinics but<br \/>\nwere actually found to be running medical facilities and x-ray plants,<br \/>\nultrasound pathology, medical stores, operation theatre and wards<br \/>\nincluding general wards. It was found that these facilities are being<br \/>\nrun in cubical type room which is not authorised in residential<br \/>\ncolonies. The inspection report of Dr. A.S. Sahai, Chief Medical<br \/>\nOfficer, Etawah dated 25.1.2010 in respect of Dr. Suman Singh, Dr.<br \/>\nOmhari Agnihotri, Dr. Sanjai Kumar Doharey, Dr. P.K.

Shri Arvind Srivastava would submit that the Supreme Court<br \/>\nin Writ Petition No. C-552\/1997 had granted an interim order in a<br \/>\nmatter arising out of State of Haryana and in which the running of<br \/>\nmedical facilities in residential houses was under challenge.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.    Shri J.K. Tiwari, learned Standing Counsel has brought on<br \/>\nrecord the order dated 10.9.2003 by which the Writ Petition was<br \/>\ndisposed of by the Apex Court, in terms of signed order under which<br \/>\nthe Supreme Court permitted the medical practitioners to give reply<br \/>\nto the competent authorities to the notices issued to them under<br \/>\nSection 17 (3)\/17(4) of Haryana Urban Development Authority Act,<br \/>\n1977, with further directions to the authority to dispose of the<br \/>\nreply\/representations and pass appropriate orders in each individual<br \/>\ncase on merits considering the facts and circumstances and<br \/>\ncontentions raised. The representations were to be decided within<br \/>\nfour months and until the reply\/representation was disposed of, the<br \/>\nstatus quo as existing in relation to the buildings and their use by the<br \/>\nmembers of the Association\/Indian Medical Association at Farizabad<br \/>\nwas to be maintained.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.   Shri Arvind Srivastava submits that the professional activity<br \/>\ncarried out by a medical practitioner includes all such activity, which<br \/>\nis incidental to, and is necessary for the purposes of using his skill<br \/>\nand knowledge for treatment. The running of medical store and<br \/>\ndiagnostic clinics is essential for diagnosis. It is also necessary for<br \/>\nthe doctors to admit patients suffering from serious illness and to<br \/>\nprovide them post operative medical care in case of surgery. These<br \/>\nincidental activities cannot be stopped as they are part of the<br \/>\nprofession. It is alleged that the petitioners have declared that they<br \/>\nwill carry on medical profession and will be running clinics. He<br \/>\nsubmits that nursing home and hospital is not defined under any<br \/>\nlaw. The clinic with incidental diagnostic and other medical facilities<br \/>\ncannot be termed as nursing home\/hospital and in any case the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>activities of the petitioners in the residential houses are not contrary<br \/>\nto the purpose for which the residential houses were allotted and are<br \/>\nbeing used by the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.   Shri Arvind Srivastava submits that in Association of<br \/>\nProperty Consultants vs. Delhi Development Authority C.W. No.<br \/>\n5370\/2001 the High Court at Delhi considered the question whether<br \/>\na property dealer, property broker or real estate agent can be<br \/>\nconstrued as a &#8220;consultant&#8221; under the Haryana Urban Development<br \/>\n(Disposal of Land and Buildings) Amendment Regulations 1998,<br \/>\nwhich permits the non-nuisance professional consultancy carried out,<br \/>\ndefining it as an activity under Regulation 2 (bb), as carried out by<br \/>\nan individual by his personal skill and intelligence and which<br \/>\nincludes Doctors (without Nursing Home) as an activity as a<br \/>\nproperty consultant. The Delhi High Court after considering the<br \/>\ndefinition of &#8216;profession&#8217; and &#8216;consultancy&#8217; in various dictionaries and<br \/>\njudgments held that the consultants will include private consultant.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.   All the petitioners are qualified and registered medical<br \/>\npractitioners. They have a right to run their private medical clinics<br \/>\nfor giving professional advice to the patients. A doctor&#8217;s clinic run in<br \/>\na portion of the residential house, which may either be small and<br \/>\nsufficiently big but which may not occupy the entire area with a<br \/>\nwaiting hall, a dispensary or even a small diagnostic facility may not<br \/>\nconvert the user of a premise from a residential user to commercial<br \/>\nuser. A non-nuisance professional activity running by doctors,<br \/>\nlawyers, consultant, architect, chartered accountant, property<br \/>\nconsultants, government guides may also fall in the same category.<br \/>\nThe trouble starts when the doctor or any other consultants uses a<br \/>\nsubstantial part of the building, for the activity including the<br \/>\nincidental activities such as x-ray, ultrasonography, pathology,<br \/>\noperation theatre and wards in which patients are admitted. These<br \/>\nactivities together with the consultancy, overreaches the limit of the<br \/>\nuser for professional use.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>12.   The counsels for the State and UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad<br \/>\nhave not placed before us any bye laws or regulations made by UP<br \/>\nAwas Evam Vikas Parishad, which may prohibit such activities. The<br \/>\ncondition of allotment\/hire purchase\/purchase, however, clearly<br \/>\nprovides that the dominant user of the building\/plot on which the<br \/>\nconstructions    are   raised    should    be   residential    and   that<br \/>\nallottee\/purchaser should not use the premises for business or<br \/>\ncommerce.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.   In the present case, we find that all the petitioners are using<br \/>\nthe residential houses for the purposes of running their clinics and<br \/>\nhave also converted the use of the dominant portion of the building<br \/>\nfor providing activities such as x-ray, ultrasonography, pathology,<br \/>\noperation theatre, private wards and general wards. Some of these<br \/>\nwards are so small, tht they may hardly accommodate one bed in the<br \/>\nroom. The argument advanced by Shri Arvind Srivastava, that such<br \/>\nuser is   incidental to medical practice, cannot be accepted. No<br \/>\nreasonable person in such case can say that the user of the building<br \/>\nhas not been changed from residential to commercial.\n<\/p>\n<p>14.   In these writ petitions all the doctors have extended their<br \/>\nconsultancy to include the diagnostic techniques as well as admitting<br \/>\npatients in the rooms and halls converted as wards. The professional<br \/>\nactivity in also these cases has converted the user of the house from<br \/>\nresidential to commercial for which all the doctors have therefore<br \/>\napplied for and have electric connections for commercial purposes.\n<\/p>\n<p>15.   The rights given to carry on profession, including medical<br \/>\nprofession under Article 19 (1) (g) of the Constitution of India, are<br \/>\nsubject to reasonable restrictions in public interest. Such restrictions<br \/>\ncan be placed by the law made by the State under Article 19 (6) or<br \/>\nmay be imposed under an agreement to which the person may<br \/>\nsubscribe, in the interest of other residents. We do not find that a<br \/>\nnotice for cancellation of registration is a restriction on the right of a<br \/>\nperson to practice profession. The UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>and Chief Medical Officer have not passed any such orders directing<br \/>\nthe petitioners to stop medical practice. They have only cautioned<br \/>\nthem to stop using the premises for commercial purposes. If they<br \/>\nwant to continue to use the diagnostic techniques and surgeries and<br \/>\nadmit patients, they should shift the place of their business to some<br \/>\nother place, where such activity is permitted. The user of the<br \/>\npremises by the professionals for a purpose other than the purpose<br \/>\nfor which it was allotted or purchased by him is not a restriction on<br \/>\nthe right to carry on the profession.\n<\/p>\n<p>16.   The medical professionals running nursing homes are also<br \/>\nrequired to obtain registration for running ultrasound machines,<br \/>\npermission from the Atomic Energy Commission for the use of x-ray<br \/>\nplant and to dispose of the medical waste after obtaining registration<br \/>\nand the facilities provided under the Bio Medical Waste<br \/>\nManagement Rules. There is nothing on record to show that the<br \/>\npetitioners have obtained these permissions and licenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>17.   The restrictions placed by the UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad<br \/>\nfor using a residential accommodation allotted\/purchased for any<br \/>\npurpose other than residential purposes is also for maintaining a<br \/>\npeaceful environment for other residents in the residential colonies.<br \/>\nAny business or commercial activity involves these houses to be<br \/>\nvisited by patients and their relatives,       use of motor vehicles,<br \/>\nparking, and putting pressure of the civic amenities such as<br \/>\nelectricity, water, sewer and roads. It also affects the tranquillity of<br \/>\nthe residential area used by the senior citizen and the children. The<br \/>\nchange of the dominant user of the building in a residential colony<br \/>\nnot only affects the immediate neighbours but all the residents of the<br \/>\ncolony and thus it is essential that in the residential colonies, the<br \/>\nconstructions should be used dominantly for residential purposes.\n<\/p>\n<p>18.   We do not find that the petitioners have been asked to stop<br \/>\ntheir medical practice or to stop the patients visiting in their clinics.<br \/>\nThey have been simply asked to stop the use of diagnostic<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   11<\/span><\/p>\n<p>techniques including x-ray, ultrasonography, pathology, running of<br \/>\noperation theatre, maternity centres and for using their houses for<br \/>\nadmitting patients. Such an activity is violative of the terms and<br \/>\nconditions of purchase and constructions of the houses and the land<br \/>\nuse, and can be regulated by the UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad<br \/>\nboth by giving notice of cancellation of the allotment or by taking<br \/>\nsteps to cancel the registration under which such activity is being<br \/>\ncarried out. The Chief Medical Officer, Etawah has registered the<br \/>\npetitioners as medical practitioners, under a declaration given by<br \/>\nthem to run the consultancy clinics the petitioners. The petitioners<br \/>\nare obliged to abide by their declarations.\n<\/p>\n<p>19.   Inspite of the repeated reminders given by the Court, the State<br \/>\nGovernment has not made any law regulating the medical practice<br \/>\nincluding the running of private nursing homes\/diagnostic clinics<br \/>\nand hospital. In the absence of any law covering the field the Court<br \/>\nhas to apply the test of reasonableness which may protect both the<br \/>\nresidents of the colony as well as patients visiting the doctors. It is<br \/>\ninhuman for the patients to be given professional service in such<br \/>\nsmall residential buildings. The size of the rooms of operation<br \/>\ntheatre, private wards and general wards would show that the doctors<br \/>\nin order to earn money have converted small houses into nursing<br \/>\nhomes packing up the patients in unhygienic cubicles. A room<br \/>\nmeasuring 9.5&#215;9.5&#8242; can hardly be used as a hygienic private ward,<br \/>\nand in any case a room measuring 15.1&#8217;x19&#8242; cannot be used as a<br \/>\ngeneral ward. The petitioners are apparently using the residential<br \/>\naccommodation for running nursing homes putting their patients to<br \/>\nserious inconvenience.\n<\/p>\n<p>20.   We do not find any good ground to interfere with the notices<br \/>\nand the directions given by the Chief Medical Officer to the<br \/>\npetitioners to shift their activities other than consultancy including<br \/>\ndiagnostic, surgical, and admitting the patients to a place other than<br \/>\nthe residential houses in the Awas Evam Vikas Colony. It will,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   12<\/span><\/p>\n<p>however, be open to the petitioners to either shift the medical<br \/>\nservices, except the consultancy from their residential houses in the<br \/>\nAwas Evam Vikas Colony to any other place, or to confine their<br \/>\nactivities in the colony only for consultancy.\n<\/p>\n<p>21.
