Stop 'disparaging' ads against Dabur, Delhi HC tells Patanjali
Representative image NEW DELHI: Delhi high court on Thursday restrained Ramdev-owned Patanjali from running "disparaging" advertisements against rival company Dabur's Chyawanprash. Justice Mini Pushkarna allowed the interim injunction on Dabur's plea, which alleged that Patanjali was running down other Chyawanprash brands, specifically Dabur's product, by claiming that "no other manufacturer has the knowledge to prepare 'original' Chyawanprash as per authentic Ayurvedic tradition". Dabur's petition stated that in television and print advertisements, Patanjali made "fallacious and deliberate mis-statements", denigrating and defaming its product. The advertisements made specific reference to "Chyawanprash made with 40 herbs", calling it "ordinary", which Dabur claimed was an attempt to portray its product as inferior. The company advertises its Chyawanprash using '40+ herbs' as a USP. The petitioner company alleged that actually Patanjali's products might contain substances which, as per the Central Consumer Protection Authority advisory, should come with a disclaimer. Patanjali, on its part, argued that it never named Dabur directly, and followed proper guidelines. The company claimed that it was not trying to damage any specific brand. HC posted the matter for July 14.

Rush Hour: Karnataka asked to justify ACP's suspension, Patanjali to halt ‘disparaging' ads and more
We're building a brand-new studio to bring you bold ground reports, sharp interviews, hard-hitting podcasts, explainers and more. The Delhi High Court restrained yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved from running allegedly disparaging advertisements about consumer goods company Dabur's Chyawanprash product. The court passed the interim order on a plea filed by Dabur, which alleged that Patanjali Ayurved was disparaging its product by claiming that no other manufacturer had the knowledge to prepare it. Dabur argued that it was misleading and harmful to label other brands as 'ordinary'. The statements misrepresented Patanjali Ayurved's own formulation, questioned Dabur's adherence to Ayurvedic tradition and branded Dabur's product as inferior, the petition alleged. Dabur also claimed that Patanjali Ayurved was a habitual offender, citing earlier orders in contempt proceedings against the Ramdev-led company for similar advertising conduct. Read on. The Karnataka High Court asked the state government to justify the continued suspension of Bengaluru's Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash after the June 4 stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, which killed 11 persons. The government had suspended Vikash and four other police officers, accusing them of dereliction of duty. Vikash had challenged the suspension before the Central Administrative Tribunal. On Tuesday, the tribunal quashed the order, saying that the officer had been suspended without sufficient grounds. It had also directed the state government to reinstate Vikash immediately. The state government moved the High Court challenging the tribunal's order. On Thursday, the High Court asked whether transferring the police officer would have been a sufficient measure instead.

'Nobody else has the right to decide it except him and the conventions in place,' said Union minister Kiren Rijiju. This came after China on Wednesday said that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation needed to be approved by the Chinese government. Beijing said that the succession must follow Chinese laws as well as 'religious rituals and historical conventions'. The statement was in response to the 14th Dalai Lama stating that the Gaden Phodrang Trust held the sole prerogative to decide on his successor, and that no one else had the authority to interfere in the matter. The trust is a non-profit organisation set up by the current Tibetan spiritual leader in 2015 to support the institution of the Dalai Lama. Read on. The Mumbai Police told the Bombay High Court that there was no foul play in the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Disha Salian had died by suicide on June 8, 2020, reportedly after jumping from the 14th floor of a building in Mumbai. The police had closed the case in 2021 and said that no evidence of foul play had been found in her death. However, the celebrity manager's father, Satish Salian, moved the High Court in March seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into her death and the filing of a first information report against Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Aaditya Thackeray. Claiming that his daughter had died under suspicious circumstances, Satish Salian alleged that she was gangraped and murdered. He claimed that there had also been a politically-driven cover-up to shield 'influential persons'. The police demanded that the petition should be dismissed. Thackeray on Thursday refused to comment on the matter, saying that he had chosen silence despite attempts to defame him. Read on.

HC restrains Patanjali from airing TV ads disparaging Dabur Chyawanprash
The Delhi High Court on Thursday restrained Patanjali Ayurved from airing any television advertisements disparaging Dabur's Chyawanprash products. The HC decision came on a plea moved by Dabur India, seeking an injunction against the alleged defamatory advertising campaign. Justice Mini Pushkarna allowed the interim applications filed by Dabur India. A detailed order copy is awaited. The matter has now been listed for 14 July. Dabur moved two interim injunction applications in the suit in which summons were issued in December last year. In the second injunction application, Dabur alleged that after the issuance of summons, Patanjali ran 6,182 advertisements against its product in one week. Patanjali Ayurved has also claimed that its product contains 51 herbs, compared to Dabur's 40, and allegedly suggested that Chyawanprash sold by other brands contains mercury. Dabur has denied such claims, alleging that Patanjali's advertisement specifically refers to Dabur's product made with 40 herbs as 'ordinary.' It also said that Patanjali was disparaging their brand by calling Dabur ordinary.

Delhi HC orders Patanjali to stop 'misleading' ads about Dabur Chyawanprash
CHENNAI: The Delhi High Court has ordered Patanjali Ayurved, led by yoga guru Ramdev, to stop running advertisements that appear to criticize or make false claims about Dabur's Chyawanprash. In December 2024, Dabur went to court claiming that Patanjali's ads were hurting its reputation and misleading people. These ads suggested that Patanjali's Chyawanprash is more authentic because it uses 51 herbs, compared to Dabur's 40. Dabur said this is not true. The Patanjali ads also hinted that other brands' products might be unsafe for children or even contain mercury. While the ads did not mention Dabur by name, Dabur believed they were the target.
