In a significant legal development, the Delhi High Court on Thursday issued an interim injunction against Patanjali Ayurved, restraining it from broadcasting or publishing advertisements that allegedly disparage Dabur Chyawanprash, a market leader in the Ayurvedic health supplement segment.<\/p>\n
The order came from Justice Mini Pushkarna, who ruled in favour of Dabur India\u2019s interim plea, stating, \u201cApplication is allowed.\u201d<\/em> The matter is scheduled for the next hearing on July 14.<\/p>\n The controversy erupted following a Patanjali advertisement featuring Baba Ramdev, where he was seen questioning the authenticity and Ayurvedic credibility of other Chyawanprash brands. The ad reportedly claimed:<\/p>\n \u201cJinko Ayurved aur Vedo ka gyaan nahi, Charak, Sushrut, Dhanwantari aur Chyawanrishi ke parampara mei \u2018original\u2019 Chyawanprash kaise bana payenge?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Further, the ad allegedly described a 40-herb Chyawanprash as \u201cordinary,\u201d which Dabur contended was a direct reference to its own product, widely known for using more than 40 herbs and holding over 60% market share in the segment.<\/p>\n Dabur accused Patanjali of spreading misleading and disparaging messages that undermine consumer trust in a classical Ayurvedic formulation regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. It argued that labeling other products as “ordinary” and implying health risks from non-Patanjali Chyawanprash is both misleading and dangerous.<\/p>\n The company also pointed out that Patanjali is a repeat offender, citing past Supreme Court contempt proceedings for similar advertisements targeting competitors.<\/p>\n Dabur, which owns trusted Ayurvedic and wellness brands like Dabur Honey, Honitus, Vatika, and Real Juice, reported a consolidated net profit drop of 8.35% to \u20b9312.73 crore in Q4 FY25, citing higher expenses and muted demand. Its revenue stood at \u20b92,830.14 crore, marginally up from the previous year.<\/p>\n In a significant legal development, the Delhi High Court on Thursday issued an interim injunction against Patanjali Ayurved, restraining it from broadcasting or publishing advertisements that allegedly disparage Dabur Chyawanprash, a market leader in the Ayurvedic health supplement segment.
