The Supreme Court has issued a notice to Ramdev in the misleading advertisement case of Ayurvedic company Patanjali Ayurved and asked him to appear before the court.  The court has asked Ramdev why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him?
 During the hearing, the court asked Ramdev's lawyer Mukul Rohatgi, why have you not filed the reply yet?  Now we will ask your client to appear in the court.  We will also make Ramdev a party.  Both Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna will have to appear in the court.
 The court said that we are not going to postpone the hearing of the case.  This thing is absolutely clear.  Along with this, the court also reprimanded the Union Ministry of AYUSH and asked why did it file the reply a day before?  On this, the Center told the court that they need more time to give a proper reply.
The Supreme Court said that the Managing Director of Patanjali will have to appear in the court on the next hearing.  Along with this, the court also issued a notice to Swami Ramdev asking why he should not be prosecuted for contempt of court.
 Let us tell you that earlier the Supreme Court had issued a notice of contempt of court to Patanjali Ayurveda in the case of misleading advertisement.  Apart from Patanjali Ayurveda, notice was also given to Acharya Balkrishna, in which he was asked to file his reply within three weeks.  But this was not answered.
