New Delhi: The Supreme Court has also rejected the second apology sought by Ramdev and Patanjali Ayurveda Managing Director Balkrishna in the case of misleading advertisements.
This hearing was being held on the petition of the Indian Medical Association against the misleading advertisements of Patanjali.
The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing of this case till April 16.
Justice Hima Kohli said, “We are not satisfied with the apology.”
In the last hearing, the Supreme Court rejected the apology of Ramdev and Balkrishna and asked them to file an affidavit and respond to the contempt of court case.
The court had said that why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against Ramdev?
Hearing was held in both the cases
The Supreme Court said on the second affidavit given by Ramdev and Balkrishna, “We do not have to be generous.” The Supreme Court also reprimanded the Uttarakhand government for not taking action on Patanjali’s misleading advertisements. The court said, “Instead of taking action under the law, the state’s license authority kept informing the Center that it had warned Divya Pharmacy.” In the last hearing, the Supreme Court had expressed displeasure over Ramdev and Balkrishna. A bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah had told Ramdev and Balkrishna, “You have to fulfill the promise given to the court, you have crossed all limits.” The court also expressed surprise and said, “When Patanjali company was saying loudly that there is no cure for Kovid in allopathy, then why did the Center keep its eyes closed.”
