Preface:
As a teacher of Forensic Pharmacy for more than three decades at the Bombay College of Pharmacy, Mumbai, and University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kakatiya University, Warangal, I have developed a passion for learning more about the Regulations, Associations, and their activities, as well as, ethical boundaries of our noble and sacred profession. This profession gives us one time opportunity in our lives to serve the cause of humanity by making our humble contributions to the health care system of the country.
During my tenures as President, Pharmacy Council of India; Member, Drugs Technical Advisory Board; Executive Committee Member, All India Council for Technical Education and Chairman, All India Board of
Pharmacy AICTE, I was associated with most of the Statutory Bodies governing and regulating the profession of pharmacy in the country. I had the good opportunity of interacting with different segments of our profession and policy-makers of the country. I had an access to the write-ups of professional meetings, deliberations, and amendments to Acts for several years. It is with this strength of confidence backed by my teaching experience of several years, I have ventured to write this book on Forensic Pharmacy with my colleague and trusted friend Prof. S.B. Gokhale for the benefit of students of degree and diploma classes in pharmacy. The book is written in a simple and lucid manner with the understandable interpretation of various Acts and Rules, without diluting the overall impact
of the subject.
The text of Forensic Pharmacy is ever-changing and our efforts were to add commas to the text of the subject thus, facilitating the free flow of the knowledge of legal principles regulating our profession.

History of Drug Legislation and Pharmacy Profession in India?
During 1920-1930 there were a number of reports of harmful substitutes and adulterants being marketed in place of genuine drugs and toxic effects of such drugs were published in the Indian press from time to time. According to reports of the Indian Medical Gazette during this period, there was absolutely no control over the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of drugs in India. Several deaths were reported due to spurious drugs. In place of eye drops, croton oil was used. Chalk powder was frequently found to be used for the adulteration of drug formulations. There were toxicity reports due to overdose of mercury compounds. In the absence of effective Acts and Rules related to drugs and pharmaceuticals in the country, there was a rat race for the manufacturing of sub-standard, spurious, and adulterated formulations.
