Notification banning Salman Rushdie’s 'Satanic Verses' ‘untraceable’; Delhi HC closes petition

IndiaTimes Thursday, 7 November 2024
The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition challenging the 1988 ban on importing Salman Rushdie's 'The Satanic Verses' because authorities couldn't locate the original notification. The court ruled that without the notification, its validity couldn't be assessed, effectively rendering the ban unenforceable and granting the petitioner legal rights regarding the book.
