Bengaluru: As per the order of the court, issued on Monday, the sale of the book written by Addanda Cariappa, the director of Rangayana, about the life of Tipu Sultan, titled ‘Tipu Nija Kanasugalu’ has reportedly been temporarily restricted.
During the hearing of the petition submitted by B S Rafiullah concerning the case, the 14th Additional Civil and Sessions Court in the city is learned to have issued an order of objection placing temporary restrictions on the sale of the book, both in shops and social media until the next hearing.
The advocate representing the petitioner has argued that the book contains blatant false information with certain sections of the author’s writings having absolutely no substantial proof or reference.
“The author has entirely missed the mark on the sources of his reference and has not provided a single academic evidence to back the written claims in the book. Further, the book depicts the Azan in an insulting manner, while the author uses the derogatory word ‘Turkaru’ in it,” the lawyer argued.
If this book were to be released to the public, it may lead to disruption of peace. In this regard, the book must be withheld through an order of injunction, the advocate appealed.
A notice was issued to the author and the publisher of the book, before deferring the hearing.

New Delhi, Jan 26 (PTI): The Congress alleged Saturday its Rithala candidate Sushant Mishra was assaulted by a poll official, and demanded a thorough probe into the incident and action against him.
Party general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed Sushant Mishra was assaulted by an Election Commission of India official on Saturday.
He alleged the official also attempted to prevent Mishra from undertaking a Padayatra for which the Delhi Police had already given permission.
In a post on X, Ramesh said, "@sushant_m has been actively taking up violations of the Model Code of Conduct by other candidates in the ongoing Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections. This unprecedented and illegal act of partisanship by an official of a Constitutional body like the ECI can only be seen as a desperate attempt by the AAP and BJP to stem the surge of support for his candidacy and that of the Congress Party in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections"
Ramesh said the Congress remains undaunted and will continue to raise the voice of people and protect the sanctity of elections.
"To preserve the integrity of the electoral process, the Indian National Congress demands a full inquiry into the incident and immediate corrective action against the concerned official," the Congress leader demanded.
Mishra has also separately written to the returning office and Chief Electoral officer and the Election Commission about the incident, demanding action against the accused.
