The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its order on the contempt notice issued to yoga guru Ramdev, his assistant Balkrishna and Patanjali Ayurved Ltd in the misleading advertisements case.
A bench comprising Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah noted that the lawyer representing the firm has sought time to file an affidavit stating the steps being taken to withdraw advertisements of those Patanjali products whose licenses have been suspended.
The court said the affidavit will be filed within three weeks. “Orders are reserved on the contempt notice issued to respondents 5 to 7 (Patanjali Ayurved Ltd, Balkrishna and Ramdev),” the court said.
During the hearing, Indian Medical Association (IMA) president RV Asokan unconditionally apologized to the court for his statements made against the apex court in a recent interview to PTI where he answered questions on the Patanjali Ayurved misleading advertisements case. .
“You cannot sit on a sofa giving an interview to the press and lampooning the court,” Justice Kohli told Asokan. The court told the IMA counsel that at this stage, the court was not willing to accept the apology affidavit filed by the IMA president.
