In a relief to Google India, its name was yesterday dropped from the suit for trial of various social networking websites for allegedly hosting offending content.
The move came after it was pointed out to a Delhi court that Google was only a software developing firm.Google India had pleaded that it was only a subsidiary of Internet giant and should be removed from the suit, to which the judge agreed.
Cases against seven other firms – Exbii, IMC India, My Lot, Shyni Blog, Topix, Zombie Time and Boradreader were also dropped yesterday.
After yesterday’s proceeding, only six of the 22 names in the suit have been left – Facebook (India and US), Google Inc, Orkut, Youtube and Blogspot.
