‘Be honest for sympathy’: Supreme Court raps Uttarakhand agency in Patanjali ads case

A bench of justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah observed that the agency can move like lightning when it wants to. The Supreme Court on Tuesday slammed the Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority (SLA) for not taking action against Patanjali Ayurved's products over misleading advertisements for six years, saying it would have to be honest with the court it wanted "sympathy and compassion".
