Don’t Degrade Allopathy: SC to Ramdev over Patanjali Misleading Ads

The Supreme Court on Tuesday warned Patanjali Ayurved Baba Ramdev and Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna for disrespecting allopathic treatment, stressing on the need to honour all medical practices.

The apex court also mentioned that the acceptance of their apology is still pending. The next hearing for the misleading advertisements case has been scheduled for April 23.

Reportedly, although Ramdev and Balkrishna tendered apologies for their actions, the Bench comprising Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah hinted that their apology wasn’t sufficient to absolve them of responsibility.

“We are not saying we will forgive you. We cannot be blind to your earlier history, we will think about your apology. You are not so innocent that you were completely unaware of what was going on in Court),” Justice Kohli said. “At this moment, we are not saying they’re off the hook.”
