Supreme Court asks Baba Ramdev, Acharya Balkrishna to appear for not replying to contempt notice

The court also issued notice to Baba Ramdev to show cause why contempt proceedings must not be initiated against him.

In February, the court, in a strongly worded rebuke, had observed that the entire country had been taken for a ride by advertisements of herbal products that claim to cure diseases.

The court had issued a notice to Patanjali Ayurved and managing director Acharya Balkrishna, asking why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against them for prima facie violating the firm's undertaking given in the court about advertising of its products and their medicinal efficacy.
