Supreme Court Closes Ramdev Contempt Case
News summary

The Supreme Court has closed the contempt case against Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balakrishna, co-founders of Patanjali Ayurved, after they agreed to cease issuing misleading advertisements and claims about their products. The case originated from allegations by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) that Patanjali promoted their products as alternatives to modern medicine and Covid-19 treatments. Despite previous assurances in court, Ramdev and Balakrishna were found to have continued these practices, leading to multiple hearings and personal appearances. The court accepted their repeated apologies and sternly warned that any future breaches would reopen the case. The court also demanded that Patanjali file affidavits detailing steps to recall the misleading ads. This decision marks the end of a prolonged legal battle involving various medical associations and regulatory concerns over health misinformation.
