Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge on Thursday vacated the ex-parte injunction by which the author, printer and publisher of the book 'Tippu Nija Kanasugalu' were earlier restrained from distributing and selling it, in a suit claiming that the book would cause unrest and disturb communal harmony.

In its order dated November 21, the court had said "The Defendant No.1 to 3 and the persons and the agents claiming through or under them are restrained by way of temporary injunction from distributing and also selling including in the on-line platform, the book by name "Tippu Nija Kanasugalu" written in kannada language by the defendant No.1, published by the defendant No.2 and printed by the defendant No.3," said the court.
