Quick Summary

An individual with a Bachelor of Arts, MD (Acu), and PG Diploma in Acupuncture, but a commerce background, is using the 'Dr' prefix for their acupuncture clinic. The question arises whether this is legal and if legal action can be taken. A senior expert suggests the issue might be too minor for individual pursuit, recommending a representation to the government or a Public Interest Litigation if desired.

It was replied to by a Senior expert Dr.Vashista Sir. Why repeated?

The issue is too trivial to be pursued. Every person who uses the prefix is not a PhD holder or a medical graduate.

May be you can make a representation to the Government and pursue the same through a PIL, if so advised.
