Supreme Court rejects Patanjali's apology, says wilful disobedience of order

Supreme Court

New Delhi: Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to accept the "unconditional apology" offered by Patanjali, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna for airing misleading advertisements.

Top Court said Baba Ramdev that he was "taking the contempt of court proceedings lightly".

"We decline to accept your affidavit. We consider what you have done to be a willful, deliberate, repeated violation of our orders," the Supreme Court said.

A bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah came down heavily on Patanjali, saying their actions were "wilful, deliberate and repeated violations" of the top court's orders.
