NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Friday questioned Patanjali Ayurved over its appeal against an order restraining the company from disparaging rival Dabur chyawanprash in its advertisements.
As the hearing on the appeal began, a bench of Justices C Hari Shankar and Om Prakash Shukla observed it was a case of generic disparagement and the statements made by Patanjali were an obvious reference to Dabur. "...you have painted in black everyone else who is making chyawanprash..." HC warned the Haridwar-based conglomerate if the appeal was found to be luxury litigation and useless, the court will impose costs.
HC said the single-judge bench treated the advertisement as disparaging and there is no reason why the division bench should sit over the discretionary order in the matter.
