Abstract
ABSTRACT Health care law is totally localized in its nature, but research for the development of new drugs has crossed man-made geographical limits. Weaker legal sanctions, poverty, illiteracy and inaccessibility to legal system have all contributed to make India a favored hub for contact research organizations. Many recent clinical drug trials in India have sparked controversy. However, in India today, we are more bothered about animal protection, but show little concern for volunteers in human trials. It is gradually becoming difficult to conduct research on animals; however, research on human beings is far easier. Sanctions against violation of rights of human volunteers in clinical trials are often only a perceived phenomenon. They are not protected as they should be. Regulatory framework needs thorough introspection, debate, reconsideration and strict implementation. These guidelines should not only be recommendatory but mandatory in nature and those who indulge in violations, shall be punished as per the law of the land effectively.
