NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court today sought response from the city police on a plea of Yahoo India Pvt Ltd challenging the summons issued to it by a magistrate for allegedly hosting objectionable content.
"Notice be issued for February 10," Justice Suresh Kait said while admitting the petition of Yahoo India for hearing.
The court also allowed Yahoo India's plea that its case be heard separately.
Senior advocate Arvind Nigam, appearing for Yahoo India, said, "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)".
Nigam said the complaint and the order of the magistrate have dealt with alleged objectionable material retrieved from various websites including Zombie, Orkut, Youtube, Facebook, Blogspot and none of them pertained to Yahoo.
He also referred to the complaint filed by Vinay Rai, a journalist, to buttress his argument that no objectionable material has been downloaded from Yahoo India which forms part of the case in which 20 other websites have also been summoned.
"I am not a social networking site like other accused in the case. I only provide email and chat services. Moreover, no objectionable material has been attributed to me and hence my case is different from others," Nigam said.
"Then why you have been made an accused?" Justice Kait asked while allowing the plea of Yahoo that its case be heard separately.

Mobile radiation: Phones may soon come with SAR tag in Delhi

NEW DELHI: Mobile phones sold in Delhi may soon prominently display the level of radiation emitted by them as the city government plans to make such tags on handsets mandatory.
Concerned over possible health issues, the administration will discuss the enforcement of this norm recently issued by central government, an official said today.
The issue was yesterday discussed at a meeting chaired by Delhi Health Minister A K Walia and attended by experts from WHO, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Jawaharlal Nehru University.
It also decided to strictly enforce restrictions on mobile phone towers across the national capital and has asked the Centre to frame rules for mobile towers.
Walia has said that they will discuss the issue with Union Health Ministry and then draft Delhi specific guidelines within the next few weeks.
The Centre has already issued detailed guidelines prepared by an inter-ministerial committee on Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation.
The Committee has set Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) level for mobile handsets at less than 1.6 watt per kg for six minute and taken over a volume containing a mass of one gram of human tissue.
It has recommended that this information is to be embossed and displayed in the handset and that it should be readily available to the consumer at the point of sale so that one can make sure of the SAR value of the handset while buying a mobile.
The Office Memorandum issued by Ministry of Communications and IT, after accepting the recommendations of the Committee, on November 17 has said provision shall be made for continuous online monitoring and display of radiation level in mobile network frequency range at prominent places in metro/cities.
