The Delhi High Court has delivered a significant verdict, ordering Baba Ramdev to retract his claims that Coronil is a ‘cure’ for Covid-19 within three days. This legal action comes as a result of mounting scrutiny over the efficacy of Patanjali products, particularly Coronil.
On Monday, the Delhi High Court issued a directive to Baba Ramdev, instructing him to remove all statements made in public claiming that Coronil is a ‘cure’ for Covid-19. The court emphasized that Coronil should only be promoted as an immunity booster, not as a treatment for the virus.
This legal battle stems from a 2021 lawsuit filed by several doctors’ associations against Ramdev, his associate Acharya Balkrishna, and Patanjali Ayurveda. These associations challenged the validity of claims made about Coronil’s effectiveness in treating Covid-19.
The Delhi High Court’s decision represents a major setback for Baba Ramdev and Patanjali Ayurveda, potentially impacting the future marketing and promotion of Coronil. The court’s order to retract claims of a ‘cure’ for Covid-19 highlights the importance of scientific evidence and responsible healthcare messaging. It remains to be seen how Baba Ramdev will respond to this legal directive and the implications it will have on his company’s future endeavors.
