The Supreme Court has summoned Baba Ramdev regarding Patanjali Ayurved’s contempt case for breaching advertising laws despite a prior undertaking. Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah issued the notice, directing Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna to appear. Balkrishna failed to respond previously, prompting the court’s action. Ramdev’s endorsement of the prohibited advertisements was highlighted, along with Patanjali’s violation of a 1954 Act by claiming products offered “permanent relief” for various ailments. Despite court directives, Ramdev held a press conference the day after the initial ruling. The court expressed prima facie opinion of further violations. The case underscores concerns about misleading advertisements and compliance with legal standards.
