James Laine vindicated

Supreme Court finally lifted its ill-advised stay of Bombay High Court’s order lifting the ban on James Laine’s book on Shivaji. Supreme Court’s order, delivered by Justices D.K.Jain and H.L.Dattu, on July 9 is here. Earlier, James Laine refused to delete the paragraphs alleged by the State Government to offend, and as suggested by Justice Arijit Pasayat (since retired) when he heard the matter.
