Criminal proceedings against the Google case in India.


Hindi News  - Google, as we say it, has answers to everything! Google is the most popular search engine around the whole world. Be it school projects or a business research, Google has always been of great help. Ever wondered what life without Google would be like?  Never even imagined that! As of today, life without Google is handicapped!
On the 4th of April, 2012, district judge of Vishakhapatnam restrained Google from performing with an enactment issued by the superior court of California, ordering Google to share the password of the Gmail account belonging to an Indian citizen of Vishakhapatnam thus giving rise to the Google case in India. The Plaintiff in this case argued that as an Indian citizen he had a right to privacy under the Indian Constitution and that the defendants could not violate his right.The government allowed the court to prosecute the Internet companies under various Indian laws in the criminal case. The criminal suit was filed against the Internet companies in a separate court in Delhi, by Vinay Rai, a newspaper editor. Google and some others appealed the criminal court's decision before the Delhi High Court. In the civil court, Google agreed to take off the content that was looked upon as objectionable.

However, the Google India's name was taken out from the suit for trial of various social networking websites for allegedly hosting offending contents. Google India pleaded that it is only a subsidiary of internet giant Google Inc and does not operate the website; hence it should be removed from the array of parties. Agreeing with its altercation, the judge dropped the Google case in India against the company saying "it is a subsidiary of Google Inc registered in India and is a software developer company which has no role in running of Google Inc." Administrative Civil Judge Praveen Singh descended the case against Google India and agreed with its plea that it does not operate any social networking website. He also said, “It is a subsidiary of Google Inc registered in India and is a software developer company which has no role in running of Google Inc.” since the Google case in India is hailed, it can now breathe easy.
Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook and other Internet companies have been named in separate civil and criminal suits filed in Delhi courts for displaying objectionable, abhorrent content on their websites. Thus, many people have developed interest for reading such news.
