The Delhi high court on Friday refused to stay criminal proceedings against Yahoo India for allegedly hosting objectionable material on its website.
Justice Suresh Kait adjourned the matter to March 1, agreeing to hear the arguments before the next date of hearing in the trial court on March 13.
The court was hearing Yahoo’s plea against the lower court’s order to prosecute the website for allegedly hosting objectionable content. Yahoo is among the websites, including Facebook and Google, which were on Monday directed by administrative civil judge Praveen Singh to file written statements within 15 days on removing objectionable content from their sites.
