Misleading ads case: SC slams Baba Ramdev, Patanjali
Coming down heavily on the misleading ads matter, the Supreme Court refused to accept the apology tendered by Patanjali's Managing Director (MD) by terming it as "perfunctory". Further, while considering the contempt plea filed by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), the Apex Court described the acts of Baba Ramdev after giving the undertaking, to be in absolute defiance of the Supreme Court's order.
Slamming the yoga guru Ramdev and Patanjali MD Balkrishna for their "absolute defiance" in not filing proper affidavits of compliance in the misleading advertisement case and breaking "every barrier", the Apex Court also disapproved of the Patanjali MD’s statement that the Drugs and Cosmetics (Magic Remedies) Act is "archaic".
