NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has restrained a publisher and two e-commerce firms from publishing and selling a book purportedly on the life of yoga guru Ramdev, who alleged that its contents were defamatory.
The court passed the order without giving notice to the publisher, saying that any delay in granting the interim order would defeat the purpose for which the lawsuit has been filed.
Additional Civil Judge Nipun Awasthi restrained Juggernaut Books from publishing and selling the book titled ‘Godman To Tycoon’, allegedly based on the life of the yoga guru, till further orders.
The judge said after going through parts of the book, it was found to be based on “rumours as heard and hearsay testimonials” and “permission to publish such a book has manifestly not been sought from him (Ramdev) nor answers to the so called ‘mysteries’ referred to in the book have been sought from him”.
