The Supreme Court on Tuesday, 7 May, expanded its scope of hearing in the Patanjali Ayurved case concerning misleading advertisements. It took a stern view of misleading advertisements by other companies including fast-moving consumer goods firms, too. It said celebrities and public figures must act responsibly while endorsing consumer products and advertisers must obtain self-declarations before issuing advertisements.
