    Delhi High Court rejected the parole petition of Lashkar terrorist Mohammad Ayub Mir, cited security reasons


    The Delhi High Court has dismissed the parole petition of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Mohammad Ayub Mir. Mir had sought an eight -week parole, but the Delhi High Court turned down it citing security reasons. Justice of Delhi High Court Sanjeev Narula said that parole is not a right but a discount and when the matter is related to national security, it has to be more strict.

    The Delhi High Court directed that terrorist Mohammad Ayub Mir should get better treatment at the Government Medical College in Jammu and if needed, he should be shifted to a big hospital on the advice of the Medical Board.

    Mohammad Ayub Mir was convicted in 2008

    Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Mohammad Mir was convicted in a case registered in 2002 and his sentence was upheld in 2006. He is currently serving a life sentence. Earlier, he got parole from May 2015 to February 2018. But this was canceled after the police report.

    At that time it was alleged that he had tried to incite the youth on the path of terror in Srinagar. In 2018, he was also accused of inciting prisoners and raising slogans inside the jail, after which he was shifted to Jat Bhalwal Jail of Jammu.

    Terrorist told many reasons in his petition

    In the petition filed in the Delhi High Court, terrorist Mir gave several reasons, in which the treatment of cancer, the care of the disabled daughter, the family's help after the fall of the house and imprisoned for more than 22 years. At the same time, in this case, his lawyer in the Delhi High Court argued that the Delhi government's order to reject parole of April 15, 2025 is without reason and inhuman.

    However, the lawyers of Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi government said that Mir is already getting treatment and his release will be a threat to the security of the country. The court also agreed with these arguments and dismissed the petition.

  • Supreme Court rejected the demand for a ban on 'The Satanic Verses', there was a dispute around the world on the book published in 1988

    Supreme Court rejected the demand for a ban on 'The Satanic Verses', there was a dispute around the world on the book published in 1988


    The Supreme Court has rejected the demand for re -banning the novel 'The Satanic Verses'. The petitioner said that due to the order of the Delhi High Court that came last year, this book has become available in India. This is a matter of hurting religious sentiments. But the judges did not consider the petition to be considered.

    In 1988, there was a lot of controversy on this book by British writer Salman Rushdie. Islamic leaders from all over the world, including Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei, protested, describing this book as criticism of the Quran. The things written in this book were termed as blasphemy. After this, the then Rajiv Gandhi government had banned its imports, fearing the law and order deteriorating in India from this book.

    In 2019, the petitioner knocked on the Delhi High Court door

    In 2019, a petitioner named Sandipan Khan approached the Delhi High Court. He said that the ban on the book prevents them from importing books from international publishers or online vendors. This is a violation of their rights. The High Court sought information about the notification under which the book was banned.

    During the High Court hearing, the Central Board of Customs (CBIC) or any other concerned agency could not present a copy of the alleged notification issued under the Customs Act, 1962. Finally in November 2024, the High Court said, 'No one could present the notification of October 5, 1988 at the hearing which lasted 5 years. In such a situation, there is no option but to believe that no notification exists. We cannot investigate its validity. Therefore, considering the petition as ineffective, they are closing.

    Petition filed in Supreme Court against High Court order

    In its order, the High Court allowed the petitioner to import 'The Satanic Verses' to India. After this order, the book became easily available in India. Against this, a petitioner named Mohammad Arshad Mohammad Jamal Khan filed a petition in the Supreme Court.

    On Friday (September 26, 2025), the case came in the bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta. The judges found that the petition has been filed as a new PIL. But through this, the order of the High Court in a case is being challenged. After this, the Supreme Court refused to consider this petition filed through lawyer Chand Qureshi.
