The court also observed that the apology needs to be published in the newspapers by Asokan personally and not from the funds of the IMA.

Asokan, who was present in the court, offered an unconditional apology to the bench and prayed for clemency.

Expressing displeasure over Asokan's comments a day before the top court was slated to hear the matter, a bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah sought his response on an application filed by Patanjali Ayurved Ltd.
