The Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority had earlier told the apex court that manufacturing licences of 14 products of Patanjali Ayurvဣed Ltd and Divya Pharmacy have been "suspended with immediate effect".
The top court had on May 14 reserved its order on the contempt notice issued to yoga guru Ramdev, his aide Balkrishna and Patanjali Ayurved Ltd in the misleading advertisements case.
Patanjal🐽i Ayurved Ltd told the bench, comprising Justices Hima Kohꦛli and Sandeep Mehta, that it has issued instructions to 5,606 franchise stores to withdraw these products, according to a PTI report.
The company said media platforms have also been instructed to withdraw advertisements of these 14 products in an✅y form.
The bench, posting the matter for further hea🍌ring on July 30, directed Patanjali Ayurved Ltd to file an affidavit within two weeks stating whether the request made to social media intermediaries for the removal of advertisements has been acceded to and whether advertisements of these 14 products have been withdrawn.
