The Kerala High Court has put a temporary hold on proceedings in a misleading advertisement case involving renowned Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, his associate Acharya Balakrishna, and their enterprise, Divya Pharmacy.

The stay, lasting three months, was confirmed by senior advocate Ajith Kumar, representing Ramdev and others, after Justice V G Arun issued an interim order in response to a petition seeking to quash the proceedings.

The case originated from a complaint filed by the Drugs Inspector in Palakkad, under charges of contravening the Drug and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisement) Act 1954, specifically sections 3(d) and 7(a).
