Abstract
The word clinical trial is self-explanatory. The need to constantly update medical science is a must for the survival of humanity, however questions arise as to what extent clinical trials should be permitted or how the procedures of such experimentation have to carried on or the importance of ‘consent’ of persons subjecting themselves to the procedures. It is in this backdrop this article seeks to scrutinize, analyse and dissect clinical trials strictly from the humanitarian-legal point of view. This research has been undertaken with the objectives of understanding India’s current legal framework with respect to clinical trials, legislative lacuna and judicial perceptions and receptions of the same.
