PATANJALI AD CASE: ‘NOT GOING TO TAKE IT LIGHTLY’, SC PULLS UP UTTARAKHAND'S LICENSING AUTHORITY

The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday came down heavily on Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority for inaction in Patanjali's misleading advertisements case, while expressing dissatisfaction over the explanation offered by authority.

A bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah observed that the licensing authority got activated to take action in accordance with the law only after the apex court's April 10 order.

“Be honest to the court if you want sympathy and compassion…,” the bench said as quoted by newswire PTI. 

The top court said its main concern is whether the licensing body took action in accordance with the law in the matter. The bench has posted the matter for hearing on May 14.
