clinical trial deaths in 7 yrs: Centre to SC

Clinical Trial deaths in 7 yrs: Centre to SC
Even as the Drugs and Cosmetics Act awaits penal provisions, the Centre has informed the Supreme Court that at least 80 people have died due to illegal clinical trials in the last seven years.
In an affidavit submitted to the court as per its directive, the health ministry has said there were 2,644 "serious adverse events" of deaths during clinical trials during 2005-2012. Of these, 80 have been attributed to clinical trials, while the other deaths could be due to terminal illnesses or other life-threatening diseases. Compensation was paid to families of 44 victims till 2011.
According to the ministry, there were around 12,000 incidents of "other adverse effects" in this period, of which 506 directly pertained to clinical trials.
The existing Act does not have a single penal provision prescribing a jail term for illegal clinical trials. The Centre has said it is trying to correct the "deficiency" by replacing the old law with a 2013 amendment Bill.
The health ministry has said the Bill seeks to expand the responsibility of the sponsor (firm which conducts the trials), investigator and ethics committee.
The Bill also mandates complete adherence to the protocols and good clinical practice guidelines for conducting trials. In case of non-compliance, it seeks to authorise the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to recommend rejection of the study as well as suspension and debarment of the sponsor.

CLB issues strict norms for notarisation of affidavits


CLB issues strict norms for notarisation of affidavits

Company Law Board while passing an order in the matter of Shri Rupak Gupta & Others Vs. M/s. Banaras House Pvt. Limited has taken a very serious note of the serious breach of duty by Notaries in the capital while attesting affidavits (like affidavits having blank spaces, non disclosure of the identity of the person signing the affidavits, notarization in the absence of the deponents and cases of false impersonation and false identification of deponent. .
In a press release issued by CLB it has been stated that Justice D.R. Deshmukh Chairman of CLB while deciding the aforesaid petition has directed the Chief Secretary, National capital Territory of Delhi to initiate immediate disciplinary action for cancellation of license of Mr. Ashok Kumar, Notary Public, Chamber No. B-112, BGS Block, Tis Hazari Courts, New Delhi–110 064 and Mr. Dipankar Das, Notary Public, Registration No. 916, 14, Lawyers Chamber, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi and to send a report to the Company Law Board of having done so. In one of the cases the notary had even attested the affidavit of a lady being deposed and signed by a man and indentified as such.
The Chief Secretary, NCT of Delhi has also further been directed to issue directions to all Notaries functioning in the NCT of Delhi to ensure that they shall obtain the signature and full details of not only the deponents but also the person indentifying such deponent in the Notary Register and the Notary shall affix his seal and signature on each page of the document/ petition being deposed to in the affidavits.

SC forces RTI info commissions to be headed by judges, CIC freezes


SC forces RTI info commissions to be headed by judges, CIC freezes

The Supreme Court on Friday disposed of a writ petition filed two months ago, opening the floodgates to many more post-retirement positions for high court and Supreme Court judges and bringing the functioning of the CIC to an abrupt emergency halt.
The court ruled that information commissions under the Right to Information Act 2005 (RTI Act) must function with two-member benches, one of the two members being a high court judge in the case of an information commissioner’s post, and a high court chief justice or a Supreme Court judge for the post of chief information commissioner.
It further said that appointments to these posts must be made only after consulting with high court chief justices and the chief justice of India.
The ruling will take effect prospectively, clarified the bench, but left several questions of implementation open to doubt.
“Can only hope that the RTI community quickly grasps the horrifying implications of this judgement soon and moves court quickly,” tweeted Legally India blogger Courtwitness adding, “still trying to understand how this case was argued and decided in two months with the government having barely had a say defending its stand.”
The first disastrous effect of the order is that all RTI hearings will have to stop till the judicial members are appointed, explained one of the drafters of the Act Shekhar Singh to Hindustan Times. The report stated that more than 17,000 pending cases, translating into a three month waiting period for an RTI appeal-hearing were already in the docket until August.
Further, appointment of judicial members is not a simple affair, explained Friday’s report in The Hindu. To function in two-member benches the Central Information Commission must have twelve commissioners six of whom must be judicial members, whereas as of now it has only eight members none of whom are judicial members. So, two present members will have to be replaced by judicial members.
But there are two riders. First, all members don’t retire at the same time, and second, under the RTI Act it is “impossible” to remove an incumbent commissioner.
To add to the complexity, the retirement age for both Supreme Court judges and chief information commissioners is 65 making it procedurally impossible to appoint a retired SC judge a chief information commissioner.
The bench of justices AK Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar passed directions on the public interest litigation of petitioner Namit Sharma who had challenged the constitutionality of the sections of the RTI Act that lay down the eligibility criteria for appointment to the posts of chief information commissioners and information commissioners at the central and state levels.
According to Sharma, the sections were vague and did not provide specific eligibility qualifications for such appointments, and that it was not warranted for a person of non-judicial background to perform judicial or quasi-judicial functions under the Act because it goes against citizens’ constitutional right to equality before law.
Sharma was also aggrieved with the fact that the Act does not prescribe any mechanism for proper scrutiny and consultation with the judiciary to ensure that the information commissioners do their job effectively.
However, the 107-page judgement makes no mention of the arguments of any government counsel opposing Sharma. The petition was filed on 11 July, and decided on Friday two months later in a “record-time” hearing for a writ petition, pointed out Courtwitness.
“Strangely there's no mention of vakalat on the part of the government. Was any counter affidavit filed disputing writ petition,” asked cbcnn_Pillid in a tweet.
Chief information commissioner Satyananda Mishra, himself a bureaucrat having a non-judicial background, convened an “emergency meeting” of the Central Information Commission (CIC) soon after the order to understand the import of the ruling and take legal opinion on its implementation from the law ministry, reported Mint.
“The court says the ruling is to come into effect prospectively but we do not know if this means we have to wait until the existing commissioners retire or the changes will come into effect immediately,” Mishra told The Hindu.

A Gift can't be taken back


The Supreme Court bench of Justices S B Sinha and H S Bedi, ruled that gifts from parents to children could not be rescinded later had said two months ago that parents could disentitle their son from inheritance if he neglected them. Ashokan from Kerala was gifted land by his mother through a registered gift deed out of “love and affection” on January 4, 1984. His father followed suit saying it would help him lead a good family life. But after one-and-a-half years, the parents cancelled the deeds saying Ashokan had failed to render financial assistance to the family though he worked in Oman. They were also upset he did not fulfil his promise to contribute Rs 1 lakh for his sister’s marriage.
 Ashokan approached the trial court seeking quashing of the two documents executed by his parents through which the gift was cancelled. Despite the breach of promise cited by the parents, the court ruled that once the gift deed had been executed, it could not be revoked “by the mere fact that the donor’s feeling towards the recipient underwent a change”.
The parents had protested that if the deeds were kept alive, it would be fair to fear that the son would evict them from their own land. The district court ruled in favour of the parents saying the son had not taken possession of the land, nor paid tax, nor mutated it in his name. The Kerala HC upheld this decision.
Ashokan approached the SC challenging the HC’s decision. The SC said the gift deeds were executed out of love and on the ground that the recipient was the son of the donor and to enable him to live a good life.
 “Could the parents now turn around and say he was to fulfil a promise? The answer must be in the negative. It’s one thing to say the execution of the deed is based on an aspiration or belief, but another to say the same constituted an onerous gift,” said the bench. The SC revived the gift deeds originally made by the parents and said, “Once a gift is complete, it cannot be rescinded.”

Cabinet approves reforms in marriage, divorce and adoption laws


The Central government took some major decisions with regard to the Hindu Marriage Act, including making divorce easier, in a key Cabinet meeting. 

According to the decision of the Cabinet, the mandatory six-month clause for filing of divorce will now be waived off on grounds of irretrievable breakdown. 

The new clause also allows one-time settlement instead of monthly maintenance in case of divorce. 

The redrafted Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010 based on key recommendations of a Parliamentary Standing Committee also allows a woman a share in her husband's property. The quantum of share will be decided by the court on case-by-case basis. 

The Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010, which was cleared by the Cabinet, also seeks to give a woman a share in her husband's property. 

The government has accepted the recommendation of the parliamentary committee that women should have a share in the property of her husband in case of a divorce but the quantum of share will be decided by the courts on case-by-case basis. 

According to the Cabinet Note, while a wife can oppose a husband's plea for a divorce under the new "irretrievable breakdown of marriage" clause, the husband will have no such rights to oppose if the wife moves the court on the same grounds. 

Apart from this, bringing a big change in the adoption laws, the Union Cabinet has cleared equal rights for adopted children in custody cases.
According to the redrafted Bill passed by the Cabinet, adopted children will have rights on par with biological off springs of a couple in case the parents go for a divorce.
