This was after the Bench took note of an intervention application seeking imposition of costs on the IMA.
“There is an intervention which wants us to impose ₹1,000 crores on IMA as costs for filing this complaint. Looks like a proxy plea on your behalf, Mr. Rohatgi,” Justice Kohli remarked.
“I have nothing to do with this,” Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who was appearing for Patanjali, replied.
“We are very curious about the timing of the application.. Looks like an interloper and not an intervention,” the Court observed while orally indicating that it was inclined to impose costs on the applicant.
All the same, the Court indicated that it would also look into certain allegations against the IMA regarding unnecessary medical prescriptions.
