14 Patanjali Products Suspended – In a big setback for Baba Ramdev’s famous Patanjali Ayurveda company, the Uttarakhand government has suspended the manufacturing licenses of 14 Patanjali Products Suspended.

The state licensing authority said in an affidavit that the manufacturing licenses were cancelled due to “repeated violations” of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act of 1954, which controls how drugs can be advertised.
Legal Battle Ongoing
This suspension comes as Patanjali and its founders are already involved in ongoing legal cases related to misleading advertisements. Earlier, authorities in Haridwar had filed a criminal complaint against Swami Ramdev, Acharya Balkrishna, and the companies Divya Pharmacy and Patanjali Ayurved Limited for violating advertising rules.
The Supreme Court of India is currently hearing a case about Patanjali’s misleading ads. The court had ordered Patanjali to publish an apology in newspapers, but postponed punishment for Ramdev and Balkrishna as they could not file details of the published apology on time.
