The Supreme Court issued contempt notices to Patanjali's Acharya Balkrishna and Baba Ramdev over misleading ads despite earlier orders. The ads claimed cures for diseases, violating the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. Ramdev's involvement prompted his inclusion. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi defended Patanjali, claiming Ramdev's independence. The Indian Medical Association challenged Patanjali's false claims. Earlier, the court restrained Patanjali from such ads and sought responses from the company, Balkrishna, and the government. The court emphasized the seriousness of the violations and called for both Balkrishna and Ramdev's presence in two weeks.
