Dabur alleged that while promoting Patanjali Special Chyawanprash, fallacious and deliberate imputations were made, which defamed its product Dabur Chyawanprash

Dabur claims a Patanjali ad featuring Baba Ramdev misleads consumers by promoting Patanjali’s Chyawanprash as the only “authentic” or “original” choice.

The lawsuit alleges that an advertisement featuring Patanjali Ayurved founder Baba Ramdev falsely claims that only Patanjali's Chyawanprash is 'original'

Dabur has accused Patanjali of falsely claiming in an advertisement that only its Chyawanprash is authentic, and all other brands lack the traditional knowledge required for its preparation.

The Delhi High Court has sought Patanjali Ayurved's stand on a lawsuit by Dabur over advertisements allegedly disparaging its product Chyawanprash. On4, Justice Mini Pushkarna issued summons on the lawsuit to the defendants -- Patanjali Ayurved and Patanjali Foods Ltd -- for a reply in the matter.
