In his final act as Chief Justice of India, D.Y. Chandrachud heard a petition advocating for the inclusion of traditional Indian healthcare practices, such as Ayurveda and Yoga, into the national health insurance program, PM-JAY. While dismissing a previous petition by the same advocate, the court acknowledged the importance of integrating these systems into mainstream healthcare.
