Supreme Court Dismisses Contempt Case Against Ramdev and Patanjali in Misleading Ads Case

The Supreme Court has dismissed a contempt case against Swami Ramdev and Patanjali Ayurved MD Acharya Balakrishna in connection with misleading advertisements. The court accepted their unconditional apology and a commitment that Patanjali would stop issuing such ads.

Ramdev and Balakrishna had apologized multiple times in the court and published apologies in several newspapers nationwide. A bench of justices Hima Kohli and Sandeep Mehta accepted their apologies but warned that the contempt case could be reopened if they violated their undertaking in the future.

The contempt proceedings were initiated following a plea by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), accusing Ramdev and Balakrishna of making misleading claims about their products' benefits and effectiveness.
