The Supreme Court on March 19 issued notice to Yoga Guru Ramdev to show cause why contempt proceedings be not initiated against him in Patanjali advertising case.
The Supreme Court took exception to Patanjali Ayurved, its MD not filing a reply to notices on ‘violating’ undertaking on advertising products.
Earlier, the Supreme Court on February 27 issued a contempt notice against Patanjali Ayurved and its Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna for publishing advertisements of products in violation of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 and its Rules, despite an undertaking given to the court in November.
The court also cautioned the stakeholders or officers in Patanjali from making any statements adverse to any system of medicine in the print or electronic media in any form.
