Last year, the prosecutors in the Siberian city of Tomsk had filed a petition seeking a ban on the Russian translation of "Bhagvad Gita As It Is" on the ground that it promotes "social discord" and hatred towards non-believers, an issue which caused anger among believers around the world and forced New Delhi to take up the matter with Moscow.
However, the Siberian court had thrown out the petition.
