Patanjali misleading ads case: SC reserves order on contempt plea against Ramdev "We are the first ones to uphold the freedom of free speech. But there are times when there should be self-restraint. As IMA President, you should have had self-restraint.
That's the point. We didn't see that in your interviews," said the bench. It further told Asokan, "Dr.
Asokan, you are also a citizen of this country. The amount of criticism judges face, why don't they react? Because personally we don't have much of an ego, we are magnanimous. We are entitled to take action, but very rarely we do.
We do that seldom... We use our discretion with some sense of responsibility. But that does not mean you go to town with this kind of comments." Patanjali case: IMA chief's comments on top court 'unacceptable', says SC Asokan, in an interview, had said that it was unfortunate that the Supreme Court criticised the practice of IMA and private doctors.
Patanjali had filed an application against the IMA president asking the bench to take judicial notice of "wanton and unwarranted comments" made by Asokan.
