Delhi High Court today refused to stay criminal proceedings against Yahoo India which had challenged a lower court order summoning it for allegedly hosting objectionable content.

Justice Suresh Kait declined to pass an order and fixed March 1 for the next appearance, saying he would hear the case before the trial court does on March 13.

Arvind Nigam, the counsel for Yahoo India, today claimed that the company’s name did not figure in the complaint filed by petitioner Vinay Rai, a journalist, and prayed that the court should stay the proceedings.

In his argument on January 20, when Yahoo India challenged the summons, Nigam had said the order of the magistrate dealt with allegedly objectionable material retrieved from web companies such as Google India, Facebook India, Zombie, Orkut, YouTube and Facebook. The order did not pertain to Yahoo India. Twenty other web companies, among them Facebook and Google, were also summoned on March 13 for allegedly hosting objectionable and obscene material.

Nigam had said on January 20: “I (Yahoo India) am not a social networking site like the other accused in the case. I only provide email and chat services. No objectionable material has been attributed to me and hence my case is different from the others…. It is a case where summons were issued without application of mind by the trial court as there was no material against me (Yahoo India).”

The court had allowed Yahoo India’s plea that its case should be heard separately.

Google India and Facebook India had also moved the high court earlier pleading the lower court’s order be quashed. But the high court refused to do so and warned the companies that “like China, we (India) will block” websites if they failed to screen and remove objectionable material.

The matter in that case will come up for hearing in the high court on February 14.
