<h5>What are misleading ads?</h5><p>Imagine one day you see ads for a drink that is claiming to be a health drink. You buy it and then notice it is full of unhealthy added sugar. That’s an example of a misleading ad.</p><p>Recently, a huge company called Patanjali was caught publishing misleading ads. They were claiming they could cure incurable diseases!!</p><p>The Supreme Court (SC) of India ordered them to stop such ads, but they didn’t listen. So, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/patanjali-medicine-ads-banned">SC has now banned their ads</a>. Patanjali is also disallowed from bad-mouthing other medicines.</p><h5>Patanjali releases apology ads!</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/patanjali-apologises-for-misleading-ads%2FPatanjali%20ad%202.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=0d0da6fa-6b93-484b-b07b-8a55f1135dbc"><figcaption>The latest apology ad by Patanjali. Photo by Dr Babu K V.</figcaption></figure><p>On 24th April 2024, the company published a public apology in newspapers for ignoring the SC's order not to publish such ads.</p><p>On 21 November 2023, Patanjali promised not to say bad things about modern medicine. However, the next day they broke their promise. Patanjali has apologised for doing so.</p><h5>SC’s role in upholding the law!</h5><p>The SC plays an important role in ensuring that laws are followed, making fair decisions, and protecting citizen rights.</p><p>The SC ensures the law is fair for everyone, whether big companies or regular people. Those who break it get punished, like Patanjali, for its misleading ads.</p>

The company published an apology after the Supreme Court held that it falsely advertised its products.
