The Additional City Civil and Sessions court issued the temporary injunction restraining the author, publisher Ayodhya Publication and printer Rashtrotthana Mudranalaya from selling the book titled ‘Tipu Nija Kanasugalu’ and written by Rangayana director Addanda C Cariappa, till December 3.
”The Defendant No.1 to 3 and the persons and the agents claiming through or under them are restrained by way of temporary injunction from distributing and also selling including on-line platform, the book by name “Tippu Nija Kanasugalu” written in Kannada language,” it said in its order. However, ”This order of injunction will not come in the way of the defendant No.1 to 3 from printing the said books at their risk and storing the books which are already printed,” the court has said. A suit was filed by former Chairman of the District Wakf Board Committee, BS Rafiulla, claiming that the book contains wrong information without any support or justification from history.
He has also stated that the word “turukaru” used in the book is a derogatory remark against the Muslim community. He also contended that the publication of this book would cause unrest and communal disharmony disturbing the public peace at large.
