The court also observed that banning books would stop the flow of ideas. It was a Delhi Malayali Radhakrishnan who filed a PIL that certain portion of the book was allegedly insulting Hindu women as a whole and that the book should be banned. Additional Solicitor general Pinky Anand appearing for the central govt said that banning book will be the violation of fundamental right of expression. The state government said that the petition was all about politics.
According to IPC 221 the book can be banned only if there is obscene content in it. But in creative or imaginative dialogues, even that cannot be considered.
