New Delhi: A Delhi
court Monday accepted Yahoo India's application to remove its name
from the list of websites dragged to court for allegedly posting
defamatory articles. The complainant was fined Rs.5,000.
The court dismissed the plea of complainant Mufti Aijaz Arshad
Qasmi, an Islamic researcher linked to a website run by the
Islamic Peace Foundation of India, who had sought the removal of
"objectionable content" from around 20 websites including Yahoo
India.
Yahoo India had requested Administrative Civil Judge Parveen Singh
to remove its name from the list of accused websites. It told the
court that there was no defamatory material posted on its website.
The Delhi High Court March 2 quashed the criminal charge against
Yahoo India of hosting objectionable content on its website.
The civil court March 1 accepted the plea of Microsoft India
seeking the dropping of its name from the case.
Yahoo India said in its statement that there was neither any
material on record nor any allegation in the complaint against it.
The company said it could not be made a party in the case as the
complainant did not disclose any cause of action.
Yahoo India said in its statement to court: "The petitioner
appears to have arraigned Yahoo India in the suit by bunching it
with other prominent social networking websites on the patently
mistaken assumption that Yahoo India was also a social networking
website."
Other companies named by Qasmi in his complaint will continue to
face trial. Some of them, including Facebook and Google India,
have already filed their statements in court.
