New Delhi : Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its verdict in the contempt notice to Baba Ramdev and Patanjali Ayurved’s Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna over publication of misleading advertisements.
Granting exemption on Ramdev and Balkrishna’s personal appearance in further proceedings, a bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah has provided three-week time to Patanjali to file an affidavit regarding the withdrawal of the sale of banned products and their advertisements.
It took note of the submission that the entire page of newspapers containing the public apology published by Patanjali has been placed on record.
Earlier, the top court had rejected the “unconditional and unqualified apology” tendered by Ramdev and Balkrishna and took strong exception over the violation of the undertaking given to the Supreme Court in November last year.
Patanjali had earlier assured the Supreme Court that it would not make any casual statements claiming the medicinal efficacy of its products or advertise or brand them in violation of law and would not release any statement against any system of medicine to the media in any form.
