The Supreme Court has given a strong warning to Patanjali Ayurved, owned by Baba Ramdev, about the false claims in its ads. The court says if the ads claim to cure diseases and they’re not true, Patanjali might have to pay a huge fine of ₹1 crore for each false claim.
The judges made it clear that this isn’t just about the fight between Allopathy and Ayurveda. They told Patanjali to stop all false ads right away. The court is taking this very seriously and might impose big fines if Patanjali doesn’t follow the rules.
The court also told Patanjali not to make such ads in the future or claim things to the media that aren’t true. The government was told to talk to people and find solutions to stop false medical ads.
This all started because the Indian Medical Association (IMA) said Patanjali was creating a negative perception about the COVID-19 vaccine and regular medicine. The court is going to look at this matter again on February 5, 2024.
