The Supreme Court dismissed yoga guru Ramdev and Patanjali Ayurved's unconditional apologies over "misleading" advertisements, asserting, "We are not blind" and "it did not want to be generous." Justices Hima Kohli and A Amanullah emphasized the apologies came only after being "caught on the wrong foot." They rebuked the State Licensing Authority for inaction, warning to "rip you apart." Ramdev and Balkrishna's attempts to evade personal presence were deemed "most unacceptable." The case, stemming from claims on product efficacy, saw previous assurances ignored, prompting contempt proceedings. The court resumes hearing on April 16.
