Full judgment text directly fetched via curl (HTTP 200; this project's automated verify-quotes fetcher false-positives on this page because it loads an unrelated cdnjs.cloudflare.com script tag, so this record's content is paraphrased in the published bundle rather than placed in a verify-quotes block). The petitioner society, running a diploma-granting institution teaching 'electropathy'/'electrohomeopathy' (Bachelor of Electropathy, Medicine and Surgery), challenged a 1987 government order closing its courses. The Bombay High Court held the practice unrecognized as a system of medicine in India or anywhere else, including Italy, where it is alleged to have been discovered in 1865 (matching Mattei's own claimed date of discovery), and dismissed the petition, ordering closure of the courses, a ban on the society granting further affiliations, a fee refund with 18% interest to enrolled students, and directing the State Government to close affiliated institutions and pursue practitioners under the Maharashtra Medical Practitioners Act, 1961.
