The Delhi High Court has sought Yoga guru Ramdev's stand on a lawsuit against him by several doctors' associations for allegedly spreading misinformation by his statements against allopathy amid the Covid-19 pandemic which purportedly amounts to public nuisance.

Justice Hari Shankar granted a week's time to Ramdev to file his response and said that he would not grant leave for the institution of the proceedings in the absence of a reply. "Public nuisance has some consequences on the defendant. It is open to the defendant (Ramdev) to say that there is no case. Can't say that I won't give him an opportunity," the judge said.
