Patanjali moves HC against order blocking ads targeting Dabur Chyawanprash

Patanjali Ayurved on Friday approached the Delhi High Court challenging an order restraining it from running disparaging advertisements against Dabur Chyawanprash. At the outset, a bench of Justices C Hari Shankar and Om Prakash Shukla orally observed that it was a case of generic disparagement and the statements made by Patanjali are an obvious reference to respondent Dabur. The court warned Patanjali that in case it finds it to be a luxury litigation and a useless appeal, it will impose costs. You have said- 'Why settle for ordinary chyawanprash made with 40 herbs?' So when you have used the word 40 herbs, it is an obvious reference to the respondent (Dabur). The moment you say ordinary chyawanprash with 40 herbs you are making a representation to the public that the respondent's chyawanprash is ordinary and mine (Patanjali) is excellent and why settle for his chyawanprash, the bench told Patanjali's counsel.

Allahabad HC rejects Patanjali Ayurved's plea against ₹273.5 cr penalty

The Allahabad High Court has dismissed Patanjali Ayurved Limited's petition challenging Rs 273.50-crore goods and service tax (GST) penalty. A division bench comprising Justices Shekhar B Saraf and Justice Vipin Chandra Dixit rejected Patanjali's argument that such penalties constitute criminal liability and can be imposed only after a criminal trial. The bench was of the view that tax authorities can impose penalties under Section 122 of the GST Act through civil proceedings without requiring criminal court trials. The court clarified that GST penalty proceedings are civil in nature and can be adjudicated by proper officers. "After detailed analysis, it is clear that the proceeding under Section 122 of the CGST Act is to be adjudicated by the adjudicating officer and is not required to undergo prosecution," the bench said. Patanjali Ayurved operates three manufacturing units at Haridwar (Uttarakhand), Sonipat (Haryana) and Ahmednagar (Maharashtra). The company came under ...
