Supreme Court Urges Ayush Ministry to Establish Dashboard for Misleading Advertisement Complaints

The Supreme Court has directed the Ministry of Ayush to create a dashboard to display details of complaints about misleading advertisements. This step is intended to ensure consumer awareness and better monitoring of such issues. The Court's decision follows concerns raised by the Indian Medical Association about a smear campaign against the Covid vaccination drive.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Ministry of Ayush to establish a dashboard for tracking complaints related to misleading advertisements, making such information accessible to consumers.

The directive aims to enhance transparency and ensure actions taken on these complaints are publicly available, addressing issues highlighted by the Indian Medical Association against Patanjali Ayurved Ltd.

The court underscored the necessity of this dashboard in providing clear data for future prosecutions under relevant acts, emphasizing the urgency of improving the grievance redressal system.
