The court’s scrutiny follows the rejection of the second apology tendered by Patanjali during the previous hearing. Additionally, the court expressed dismay over Balkrishna and Ramdev’s submission of an affidavit containing non-existent flight tickets in an apparent attempt to avoid personal appearance.
The outcome of the hearing is anticipated to have far-reaching implications, not only for Patanjali Ayurved but also for the broader landscape of advertising regulations and consumer protection in India. As such, it is being closely watched by stakeholders across various sectors.
