Supreme Court issues summons to Ramdev in Patanjali advertisements case

The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked self-styled yoga guru Baba Ramdev to personally appear in a contempt case initiated against Patanjali Ayurved for publishing misleading advertisements in violation of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 despite an undertaking given to the court in November last year.

A Bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah issued show cause notice to Baba Ramdev to file his response against initiating contempt proceedings against him.

The Bench further directed Acharya Balkrishna, the Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved, to be present in the courtroom along with Baba Ramdev for the next hearing on April 2.
