Today (14th May): The Supreme Court of India reserved its verdict in the contempt of court case against Patanjali Ayurved and its owners, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, over misleading advertisements. The court dispensed with their personal appearance pending the submission of an affidavit detailing the steps taken to remove the misleading ads and recall suspended products. The case has drawn attention to larger issues, including unethical practices in modern medicine and the liability of celebrities endorsing misleading advertisements.
Today (5th April): The Supreme Court rejected a PIL seeking a cooling-off period for former government servants entering politics. Justices Kant and Mehta expressed reluctance to grant the relief during the hearing. The petitioner, Andhra Pradesh Congress leader GV Harsha Kumar, highlighted unethical practices in the electoral process. The court’s decision means existing rules remain unchanged.
