==Notable verdicts==<br />
The [[Kerala High Court]] in December 2001 responding to a [[Public Interest Litigation]] restrained one T. A. Majeed, proprietor of the [[Kochi]]-based Fair Pharma, from manufacturing and marketing a drug called Immuno-QR, which he claimed to cure [[HIV/AIDS]], or any drug under Schedule J. The manufacturer held a patent for a drug for treating general weakness and fatigue, but not AIDS. The petitioners, [[People's Union for Civil Liberties]], had asked the court the manufacturers should be allowed to sell the [[Ayurvedic]] drug only after it has undergone [[clinical trial]]s, under the supervision of National Institute for Communicable Diseases and the Centre for Advanced Research in Virology.<ref name=ImmunoQR>{{cite news|title=HC restrains manufacture, marketing of Immuno-QR|url=http://www.thehindu.com/2001/12/22/stories/2001122203380300.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150221205349/http://www.thehindu.com/2001/12/22/stories/2001122203380300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 February 2015|accessdate=21 February 2015|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=21 December 2001}}</ref><br />
