MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENTS CASE AGAINST PATANJALI AYURVEDA
On February 27 this year, the court issued a contempt notice to Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev and his associate Acharya Balkrishna for engaging in distributing misleading health cure advertisements and barring Patanjali from promoting products with unsubstantiated claims of curing diseases like heart conditions and asthma.
Patanjali Ayurveda had issued an apology on April 22 while stating that they would not commit any such mistake in the future.
During the last hearing on April 23, the Supreme Court, while hearing a contempt case, asked Ramdev whether the size of the apology was the same as its advertisements.
On April 24, Patanjali Ayurveda co-founders Yoga guru Ramdev and Balkrishna had issued a new public apology in newspapers.
The Supreme Court will hear the matter related to the apology published by Baba Ramdev and his associate Acharya Balkrishna in connection with the case of the misleading advertisement against Patanjali Ayurveda on Tuesday.
