How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.

(a)Define "Drug".[2]
Answer
A "drug" is any medicine or substance used to diagnose, treat, lessen or prevent disease. It also covers some substances and devices that act on the body. The main definition is in the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, the law that controls the making and sale of drugs.
The definition. Under section 3(b) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, "drug" includes:
- "all medicines for internal or external use of human beings or animals and all substances intended to be used for or in the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of any disease or disorder in human beings or animals";
- notified substances other than food that are meant to affect the structure or a function of the body. Substances meant to destroy disease-carrying vermin or insects are included too;
- "all substances intended for use as components of a drug including empty gelatin capsules"; and
- devices for diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of disease, as notified by the Central Government.
A wider definition for advertising. The Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 has its own definition in section 2(b). It reaches "any article, other than food, intended to affect or influence in any way the structure or any organic function of the body", so that advertisements for tonics and slimming products are caught.
Why the definition matters. It decides which products need a licence to make and sell, and which advertisements are controlled. In Hamdard Dawakhana (Wakf) Lal Kuan v. Union of India, AIR 1960 SC 554, the Supreme Court upheld the advertising controls, whose object was "the prevention of self-medication and self-treatment".
