New Delhi: A Delhi
court hearing a civil case against various social networking sites
for allegedly displaying objectionable content Wednesday ordered
that summons be served to US-based social networking site,
Facebook through e-mail.
Meanwhile petitioner's counsel Santosh Pandey moved an application
seeking the government should be brought as a plaintiff for proper
adjudication of the case as it is related to national issues.
Administrative Civil Judge Parveen Singh order that summons to
Facebook should be served through e-mail within three days after
observing that the firm has not appeared in the court as summons
were not served against it.
The court was hearing a case filed by petitioner Mufti Aijaz
Arshad Qasmi, an Islamic researcher linked to a website run by the
Islamic Peace Foundation of India, who had sought removal of
objectionable content from various websites.
Qasmi in a newly revised list submitted in last hearing April 12
has sought to prosecute - Facebook India, Facebook Inc, Google
Inc, Orkut, Youtube Inc, and Blogspot.
Pandey has moved another application seeking review of the order
of dropping the name of Orkut India, Youtube India and Blogspot
India from the case. He said that the no objection given by him
for deletion of the names of Google India and the other three
parties was due to confusion.
He told the court that submissions made by Google India, Orkut
India, Youtube India and Blogspot India that they were only
subsidiaries of Google Inc, Orkut, Youtube and Blogspot were
wrong.
The court has listed the matter for Thursday for further hearing.
