The Maharashtra government banned the book in 2007 on the grounds that it contained derogatory remarks about Islam and could hurt religious sentiments.

Advocate R V Bhasin, the writer of the book, had challenged the ban of the book.

Advocate Amin Solkar, who appeared for interveners, said that the ban imposed because it contained derogatory remarks.
