Lol.....Hmmmmm...perhaps the guys at Mumabai High court are very sensitive to ppl's need but it's a different story at the customs which destroys the things people order on the internet cos they are banned n objectionable
"As many as 500 parcels containing products associated with sexual pleasure — vibrators, videos, magazines and other equipment — are received at the foreign post office every month.
However, the parcels — mostly credit card transactions over the internet from sex shops or gifts from relatives or friends abroad — never make it to those they are addressed to.
Apparently, the men and women who send for these sex toys are unaware of the fact that all parcels are routinely opened up at the Customs office in the post office premises. Examined by Customs Department officials and found to be ‘objectionable and banned items'.
Since customs laws have banned these items from entering the country, we’ve no option but to seize them, unless there’s specific information on their use,’’ Parmar said. Assistant Commissioner of Customs K C Sharma, who is in charge of the foreign post office, said ‘‘expert opinion’’ is sometimes sought when these sex toys are being examined. ‘‘When the law bans their entry into India and experts confirm that they’re sex toys, we’ve to seize and destroy them as per rules, Sharma said.

N moreover its just not in Fort area Mumbai...Delhi has Palika Bazar...etc etc but the point here is why should law ban them??.....if people in India get them/ make them at home despite the laws is a different isssue altogether ...more power to them!!
