The Supreme Court last week has asked yoga guru Baba Ramdev to produce the original video and transcript over his alleged remarks on allopathy cure for Covid-19 and has list the matter for further hearing on July 5.
The Patiala House Court yesterday (July 16) dismissed a plea seeking registration of an FIR against Baba Ramdev and the company Patanjali for allegedly making claims to cure COVID-19.
Even as an FIR was filed against Baba Ramdev and others for “misleading” ads positioning Coronil as a Covid cure, the AYUSH Ministry has allowed the company to sell it as an immunity booster.
A plea has been filed in the Patiala House Court seeking directions register an FIR against Baba Ramdev and Patanjali under the Indian Penal Code, Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, and Drugs and Cosmetics Act for allegedly making claims to cure COVID 19.
The Centre has asked Patanjali to stop advertising and publicising its claims about COVID treatment medicines till the issue duly examined. “Unaware of facts and details of stated scientific study,” it said.
