New Delhi: Online search engine Yahoo India's plea challenging the summons issued to it by a magistrate for allegedly allowing objectionable content on its site, will come up for hearing at the Delhi High Court on Friday.
The High Court has also sought a response from the Delhi Police in the matter.
A lower court had on December 23 issued summons to 21 websites, including Google and Facebook, for allegedly committing offences of criminal conspiracy, sale of obscene books and obscene objects to young persons.
The Centre had earlier filed a report before the lower court, saying there was sufficient material to proceed against the websites for alleged offences of promoting enmity between classes and causing prejudice to national integration.
Out of the 21 websites, Google India and Facebook India moved the High Court against the magistrate's order, saying the summons be quashed as they did not commit any offence.
