New Delhi, 3 July (IANS). Patanjali has suffered a major setback from the Delhi High Court in the case of broadcasting misleading and derogatory advertisements against Dabur Chyawanprash. The High Court has imposed an interim stay on Patanjali’s Chyawanprash advertisement. The next hearing in this case will be held on 14 July.
Actually, Patanjali has been claiming in his advertisement that apart from him, Ayurveda and scripture do not make any other Chyawanprash. Dabur India had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, objecting to this claim of Patanjali. He had demanded that this misleading advertisement of Patanjali be banned and two crore rupees should be given as compensation.
While hearing this petition, the Delhi High Court imposed a final stay on Patanjali’s advertisement. Also, the next date for hearing in the case has been fixed July 14.
Speaking to the media, Dabur India lawyer Advocate Jawaharlal said, “Dabur’s concern was that Patanjali was insulting all other Chyawanprash brands in his advertisement. In one of his advertisements, he claimed,” We only know how to make Chyawanprash according to the scriptures, not others. ” With this, consumers are misled about other Ayurvedic products.
He said, “We demanded that advertisement be banned and given compensation. After the High Court’s decision, now Patanjali Chyawanprash cannot show advertisement. However, it will not have any effect on other brands.”
Earlier, the Delhi High Court reprimanded Baba Ramdev on his “Sherbet Jihad” statement. The High Court said that this statement is unacceptable and hearing this, he could not believe his ears and eyes.
He had asked Ramdev to give an affidavit, in which it is written that he will not give such a statement in future.
