Supreme Court On Patanjali “False” Ads Case, Says “Government’s Eyes Closed”

The Patanjali Ayurved, which is co-owned by yoga guru Ramdev, was found to have posted “misleading and false” advertisements. The Supreme Court today heavily criticized the Center for doing nothing in response to this.

The Supreme Court declared, “The government is sitting with its eye closed.”

According to the Supreme Court, these kinds of ads deceive the entire nation. “This is really regrettable. The bench declared that the government would have to act right away.

The bench ordered the company to immediately cease all print and electronic advertisements for its medications that provided false information.
In November of last year, Patanjali Ayurved received a warning from the Supreme Court about making “false” and “misleading” claims in their advertisements regarding their medicines.

“Whatever became of this Swami Ramdev Baba, the Guru?… In the end, we honor him for making yoga more widely known. Everyone aims for this. He shouldn’t, however, be critical of the other system. Advertisements that portray all doctors as murderers or something similar are common. Huge ads (have been given),” the bench led by the now-retired CJI NV Ramana stated at the time.

The Center’s attorney had been asked by the top court to come up with a solution to the problem of deceptive medical advertising.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) cited several advertisements that purportedly painted allopathy and its practitioners in a negative light. The IMA further claimed that companies that produce ayurvedic medicines have also made “disparaging” statements to deceive the public.

The IMA’s legal representative stated that these commercials claim that doctors are dying even though they take modern medications.
