Notes
- Quacks act in contravention of subsection (2) of Section 15 of the Indian Medical Counsel Act, 1956, and are punishable under sub-section (3) of Section 15 of the said Act.
- In May 1996, The Honourable Supreme Court stated: "A quack is defined as a person who does not have the knowledge of a particular system of medicine but practises in that system and is a mere pretender to the medical knowledge or skill in the system he practises. Or to put it differently - a charlatan or a cheat."
