Supreme Court of India in the case title R.K. Mittal & Ors. Vs State of U.P. & Ors.(Appeal Number : Civil Appeal No. 6962 of 2005 on 05/12/2011)

In the light of what we have discussed above, even on facts of this case, running of a hospital or even a medical clinic of this dimension cannot be permitted in a residential area. It would be different if a doctor uses permissible part of the premises for clinical purposes i.e. to meet or examine his patients in any portion. For surgery or specific treatments, such patients would have been addressed to proper nursing homes or regular hospitals. Therefore, doctors cannot carry on, in the garb of a medical clinic, a regular medical and surgical activity on a commercial scale.

This is applicable for dental clinic too.
