NEW DELHI: Yoga guru baba Ramdev owner of Patanjali Aurved Company Ltd has been imposed at Rs 11 lakh as fine by an Uttarakhand city court on charges of misbranding of their products. City court has ordered Patanjali to pay this fine within a month. A case had been filed in the court against the Patanjali Company in November 2012 by the District Food Safety Department (FSD) after samples of mustard oil, salt, pineapple jam, besan (gram flour) and honey, produced by Patanjali Ayurved Company failed quality in laboratory test at Rudrapur.
The products were found to be in violation of sections 52-53 of Food Security norms and section 23.1 (5) of Food safety and standard  regulation. The Consumer Complaints Council had found that Patanjali ' s claim for its ' Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil ' that rival makers are selling mustard oil "adulterated with oil made by solvent extraction process with neurotoxin containing Hexane", was not substantiated. Patanjali had also failed to substantiate its claims for Patanjali Fruit Juice, where it had claimed rival brands as "expensive juices containing less pulp". Similarly, it also failed to substantiate its claims in the ad for cattle feed ' Patanjali Dugdhamrut ' as "other companies mix 3 to 4 per cent urea and other non-edible things in their cattle feed." In May 2016, ASCI had rapped Patanjali Ayurveda for "false and misleading" claims in its various advertisements, including its hair oil and washing powder brands, while issuing list for month of March.
