SC appreciates 'marked improvement' in public apology by Ramdev, Balkrishna, Patanjali

The Supreme Court on Tuesday exempted yoga guru Ramdev from personal appearance for the next hearing in the case related to misleading advertisements by Patanjali Ayurveda.

The bench, led by Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, also recognised the recent public apology issued by Patanjali co-founders Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna in newspapers on April 24 for the misleading ads.

The public apology by Ramdev and Balkrishna came after the Supreme Court questioned whether its size would match that of their advertisements during a previous hearing.
