The Supreme Court has issued a contempt notice to Yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved and its managing director, Acharya Balkrishna, for allegedly violating a previous court order against misleading advertisements of its products. The court highlighted that Patanjali Ayurved prima facie seemed to have breached the undertaking it submitted on November 21, 2023, concerning claims about its medicines in advertisements. The apex court has also warned Patanjali and its officers against making media statements in any form that could be adverse to any system of medicine. This action follows the court's criticism of the Centre's counsel for not addressing the misleading advertisements sooner, emphasizing that the Drugs Act prohibits such misleading practices. The Supreme Court's stern stance, accusing the company of 'taking the entire country for a ride' with their 'misleading' advertisements, indicates a significant reprimand for Patanjali Ayurved. The court also remarked on the 'Government's Eyes Closed' attitude towards the case and warned Patanjali to stop 'misleading' ads.
