The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking a ban on Salman Rushdie’s controversial novel The Satanic Verses, citing that it effectively challenged the Delhi High Court’s order. The High Court had earlier lifted the 36-year-old import ban after finding the original Customs notification “untraceable.”
The Supreme Court has ruled that goods moved from Domestic Tariff Areas (DTA) to Special Economic Zones (SEZ) are domestic supplies, not exports. The verdict relieves companies like Adani Power from export duty disputes under the Customs Act, 1962.
