This is an appeal under the Constitution from a judgment and order of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay. The petitioner, who is the appellant, was the Secretary of ... People’s Publishing House, Ltd., a company based in Bombay. In September 1949, the petitioner allegedly published a pamphlet titled "Railway Mazdooron ke khilaf Nai Zazish." The petitioner’s counsel argues that the pamphlet qualifies as a "book" under the Press and Registration of Books Act of 1867 and that the provisions of this Act were followed.
