New Delhi, Aug 18 (Ians) The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice on a Pil seeking disciplinary actions against doctors who fail to prescribe generic medicines.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra sought response from the Centre, all state governments, Ethics and Medical Registration Board (erstwhile Medical Council of India) and others in the matter.
Advocate K.C. Jain, the petitioner, apprised the bench that regulations emphasizing the importance of prescribing generic medicines, which were notified back in 2002, remain largely unimplemented in practice.

Amitabh Bachchan is surely relieved today, as the Allahabad High court dismissed the petition that accused him of making a derogatory remark about the holy Quran in a Kaun Banega Crorepati episode about a year and half ago.
A petition had been filed by Mudassir Ullah Khan, who took an exception to the phrase ‘racha gaya’ (composed) in context to the holy Quran in the Kbc episode of 28th September, 2011. Mudassir had claimed that the Holy Quran was “neither written nor created by anybody, rather it came into existence/revealed by Allah (God) Himself” and hence the phrase ‘racha gaya’ was derogatory. He also contended that use of such phrases by ‘public figures’ like Big B would ‘affect all communities’.
However, Justice Manoj Misra dismissed this petition as he was in disagreement with it and said that the phrase ‘racha gaya’ does not necessarily mean that the holy Quran has been written by some person.
