MAJEED AT LAST, FACES MUSIC

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum Members,

T A Majeed, proprietor of Fair Pharma, was today restrained by a Division

Bench of the Kerala High Court from manufacturing, marketing, selling and

advertising (including to hold a website) by any mode the drug he claims to

have developed for curing AIDS, mental retardation and cholesterol, which

requires license. The State unit of People's Union for Civil Liberties

(PUCL) filed a public interest litigation, a month back, against Majeed in

the High Court of Kerala. They sought to stop Majeed from manufacturing,

marketing and selling any drug claiming to cure all the above mentioned

diseases.

They asked the court to give a direction that the so called 'magic

cure' should be clinically tested by expert bodies like National Institute

of Communicable Diseases, National Institute of Virology and Centre for

Advanced Research in Virology before being marketed. The court complied.

Majeed was selling his drug under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.

After incessant requests from activists it was cancelled by the Drug Controller

of India. But Majeed got a stay order from a single bench judge of Kerala High

Court and was going on doing brisk business. The High Court today through

its order cancelled the stay. So that is the beginning of the end of Majeed

and his magic medicine, I hope.

Please communicate this information with the public at large through all means

of communication so that they may not be swindled in future. Majeed may still

find means to circumvent this order, so it is our duty as health activists to

defend this order and propagate this information.

Love

Maitreya
