In its judgement of July 9, 2010, the Supreme Court of India says:
no fault can be found with the finding of the High Court to the effect that there is nothing on record on the basis whereof the Government could form the opinion that the book was likely to promote disharmony or feeling of enmity between various groups or likely to cause disturbance to public tranquillity and maintenance of harmony between various groups.
No ground is made out warranting our interference with the impugned judgment.
The SC dismissed the Maharashtra government appeal, finally lifting its stay of the Bombay High Court Order, and thus in effect lifting the ban of the book.
