Maharashtra Halts Raids on Patanjali Over Ayurvedic Product Labelling Pending Court OrdersPrevious
Next

The Maharashtra government has assured the Bombay High Court it will suspend raids and confiscations on Ayurvedic products by Patanjali Ayurved and Divya Pharmacy over allegedly misleading 'indication' labels until further court orders. The companies argue that such labelling is a common industry practice and should not be treated as a violation specific to them. The court is hearing petitions challenging actions by Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration under the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. The Centre indicated plans for a uniform nationwide policy on Ayurvedic product labelling.
