MANZAR SAYEED KHAN vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court clarified its earlier judgment dated 05.04.2007, which had granted relief to Professor James W. Laine from prosecution under Sections 153, 153A, and 34 of the IPC. The Court recognized that the names of the Publisher, Manzar Sayeed Khan, and the Printer, Vinod Hansraj Goyal, were inadvertently omitted from the order. Consequently, the Court modified the judgment to include these parties, ensuring they also receive the same protection from prosecution as the author.
