Patanjali Ayurveda issued an apology on Tuesday while stating that they would not commit any such mistake in the future. This came ahead of the Supreme Court’s hearing over the misleading ads case against the medicine company.

Baba Ramdev and Patanjali MD Acharya Balkrishna have been asked to be personally present before the Court for Tuesday’s hearing.

A bench comprising of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah is currently hearing the matter at the court.
