The Bombay High Court on Thursday restrained the sale, circulation and distribution of aviator-industrialist Vijaypat Singhania&rsquo;s autobiography titled An Incomplete Life.
Singhania, 83, former chairperson of the Raymond Group, is embroiled in a legal battle with his estranged son Gautam Singhania and the Raymond Company over the release of the book.
In 2019, Raymond Ltd. and its chairman Gautam Singhania had filed suits in a Thane sessions court and a civil court in Mumbai, seeking injunctions against the book claiming its contents were defamatory.
In April 2019, the Thane court had granted an injunction on the release of the book.
The company on Thursday approached the high court seeking urgent relief claiming Vijaypat Singhania had &ldquo;surreptitiously&rdquo; released the 232-page book on October 31.
On Thursday, a vacation bench of Justice SP Tavade heard Raymond&rsquo;s plea and passed an order restraining further sale, distribution and circulation of the book. The company urged the HC to restrain the publishers, Macmillan Publishers Pvt Ltd, from further distributing, selling or making available the book.
The petition, filed through advocates Kartik Nayar, Rishab Kumar and Krish Kalra, claimed Vijaypat Singhania and the publishers had breached an April 2019 order of the Thane court.
&ldquo;The high court and the Thane sessions court had passed several orders between February 2019 and April 2019 restraining Vijaypat Singhania from publishing or releasing his autobiography,&rdquo; Nayar said.
&ldquo;However, the respondents [Vijaypat Singhania and publishers] in wilful disregard to the orders have already published the book titled An Incomplete Life and put it for sale in the market,&rdquo; he said.
