The Delhi High Court on Friday quashed criminal proceedings against Yahoo India accused of hosting alleged objectionable material on its website.
Accused of hosting objectionable content, Yahoo had told a Delhi court on Thursday that there was no defamatory material posted on its website.
The court was hearing a petition of Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi, an Islamic researcher linked to a website run by Islamic Peace Foundation of India, who sought the removal of “objectionable content” from websites.
Earlier, Yahoo India had termed the suit as “motivated”.
