This ruling is part of a 2021 lawsuit filed by several doctors' associations against Ramdev, his associate Acharya Balkrishna, and Patanjali Ayurveda. The lawsuit alleges that Ramdev made unsubstantiated claims about Coronil's efficacy against COVID-19, which contradict the drug's official designation as an "immuno-booster." The court's decision also includes an order for Ramdev to retract statements blaming allopathy doctors for the deaths of lakhs of people during the pandemic. The lawsuit, supported by multiple resident doctors' associations from institutions such as AIIMS Rishikesh, Patna, and Bhubaneswar, argues that these claims constitute a misinformation campaign aimed at boosting the sales of Coronil and other products. Justice Bhambhani had reserved the order after hearing the parties involved in the lawsuit, which the court deemed non-frivolous and sufficiently substantiated for its institution.
