Abstract:
The advancements in medical science and technology have proved to be a boon
to mankind. At the same time they have raised numerous challenges before the legal
systems of the world. One such advancement is that of assisted human reproductive
technologies and particularly surrogacy, which have given a new meaning to the
concept of procreation. These technologies have made it possible for individuals to
beget a genetically related child with the help of a third party and without sexual
intercourse. Among all the assisted human reproductive technologies, the practice of
surrogacy, in which women agree to have their bodies used to undergo a pregnancy
and give birth to a baby for another, has raised various legal and human right
controversies and diverse legal responses all over the world. India has particularly
become a top destination for individuals who wish to beget a child through surrogacy
and hence it is imperative for the Indian government to address the challenges posed
by surrogacy. This study is an attempt to examine the need and importance of
surrogacy practices and the conflicting legal and human rights issues raised by
surrogacy in contemporary times. It also examines the adequacy of existing legal
framework in India and attempts to provide pragmatic solutions for regulating
surrogacy and protecting the interests of various stakeholders involved in surrogacy.

Abstract:
India is on the threshold of industrial and economic
development. The growth would be retarded if harmonious
employer-employee relations are not maintained. 'Wages'
plays a fundamental role in establishing this relationship.
However, much controversy in the industrial sphere revolves
round the question of wages. Though formerly the laissez
faire doctrine prevailed, with the emergence of the welfare
state ideology, notions of national economy and social
justice gained prominence. The problem of wages has became
one with social, political, economic, psychological and
legal dimensions.
Formulation of a proper wage policy is thus a riddle.
Realities of the present have to be fused with perspectives
about the future. With due recognition of all significant
factors, a proper balance has to be struck, which should
be the hard core of any wage policy. This study emphasises
the need for a wage policy which may meet the requirements
of rapid economic growth and stable industrial relations.
The study also indicates the proper bases for the promotien
of such a policy.
