The Delhi High Court lifted a 36-year ban on Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses," allowing its import.

The Delhi High Court has lifted a 36-year ban on the import of Salman Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses," initially imposed in 1988 due to concerns it was blasphemous to Islam. The court ruled that the original notification banning the book could not be found, leading to the presumption that it does not exist. This decision allows for the book's legal entry into India for the first time in over three decades, following a petition filed by Sandipan Khan in 2019.
