Patanjali draws Delhi HC flak in Dabur ad case

The Delhi High Court on Friday pulled up yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved for challenging a single-judge order in July that restrained it from running allegedly disparaging advertisements about a product manufactured by consumer goods company Dabur, Bar and Bench reported.

A bench of Justices Hari Shankar and Om Prakash Shukla told Patanjali Ayurved to either withdraw the petition or face costs. It also noted that the July 3 order did not direct the conglomerate to take down the entire advertisement but to modify certain portions of it.

Advocate Jayant Mehta, representing Patanjali Ayurved, asked the court for time to take instructions on the next course of action.
