The Supreme Court of India is set to hear a case of contempt against Patanjali Ayurved, founded by yoga guru Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, over its misleading advertisements. This comes after the top court rejected the company's "unconditional apology" and questioned the founders' attitude towards the issue. The court also criticized Ramdev for providing a backdated ticket as an excuse for not appearing in court.

Patanjali Ayurved, India's leading Ayurvedic company, has issued an "unqualified apology" to the Supreme Court for flouting its previous orders and continuing to peddle misleading advertisements and criticism against modern medicine. This comes after the apex court had issued a ban on the company's medicine ads with false claims and had also issued contempt of court notices against its owners, Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna. The court had earlier reprimanded the company and its counsel had assured that they would not issue any misleading ads, but Patanjali Ayurved continued to do so, leading to strong reprimand from the court.
