Supreme Court had previously slammed Patanjali Ayurved for misleading ads against modern medicine.
Supreme Court commented that it did not aim at making the instant matter a debate on ‘Allopathy v. Ayurved’ but finding a realistic solution for the problem of misleading medical advertisements.
The grievance of Patanjali Ayurved is that a video has been uploaded by respondent on the internet platforms owned by Meta Inc. having an advertisement of mens undergarments, wherein Patanjali’s trademark along with pictures of its brand ambassadors and directors are shown used unauthorizedly.
