The Delhi High Court on Thursday (July 3, 2025) restrained Patanjali from running allegedly disparaging advertisements against Dabur Chyawanprash. A Bench of Justice Mini Pushkarna allowed interim injunction applications filed by Dabur. "Application is allowed," the Judge said. The Court has now listed the matter for further hearing on July 14. SC declines Ramdev, Patanjali apology; expresses concern over FMCGs taking gullible consumers 'up and down the garden path' Dabur submitted two interim injunction applications, highlighting that despite ongoing legal proceedings -- initiated with summons issued in December 2024 -- Patanjali aired more than Six Thousand times advertisements within a single week that allegedly targeted Dabur's product. Representing Dabur, Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi argued that Patanjali's ads falsely claimed their Chyawanprash was made with over 51 herbs, while only 47 herbs were actually used.

Until further proceedings, the Court has barred Patanjali from publishing or broadcasting any such advertisements.
