On Monday(2nd September), The Gujarat High Court rejected apologies from three major newspapers for inaccurately reporting court proceedings, finding the apologies non-compliant with earlier directions. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about media accuracy and responsibility in legal reporting.
Following a Supreme Court reprimand, Patanjali co-founders Ramdev and Balkrishna issued a new, more prominent public apology in newspapers, acknowledging their non-compliance with court directions and vowing to rectify their mistakes. The apology addresses misleading advertisements and emphasizes their commitment to abide by the court’s instructions. The court scheduled a hearing on April 30 to review the matter.
