New Delhi: Social
networking website Facebook, facing trial for hosting allegedly
objectionable content, has told a Delhi court that the case has
been filed against it with "ulterior motives".
Facebook has also requested Administrative Civil Judge Praveen
Singh to remove its name from the case.
In its reply to the court which was made available Tuesday,
Facebook said: "The plaintiff has filed the present suit with
ulterior motives to harass Facebook."
The company called the suit a "gross abuse of the process of law".
The court was hearing a petition of Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi, an
Islamic researcher linked to a website run by Islamic Peace
Foundation of India, who sought the removal of "objectionable
content" from websites.
Earlier, Yahoo India, which is also a party to the case, had
termed the suit as "motivated".
