The Supreme Court today declined to entertain a plea challenging the order of the Madras High Court’s division Bench which stayed the single bench’s order restraining Patanjali Ayurveda from using the trademark 'Coronil'.
The Madras High Court on Monday (July 20) passed an interim order for restraining Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali from using the word ‘Coronil’ to promote its immunity-booster drug.
Even as an FIR was filed against Baba Ramdev and others for “misleading” ads positioning Coronil as a Covid cure, the AYUSH Ministry has allowed the company to sell it as an immunity booster.
A plea has been filed in the Patiala House Court seeking directions register an FIR against Baba Ramdev and Patanjali under the Indian Penal Code, Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, and Drugs and Cosmetics Act for allegedly making claims to cure COVID 19.
The Delhi High Court has directed the Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, not to keep the finalisation and notification of the Draft Health Policy for Rare Diseases, 2020 pending indefinitely.
