Google has been notified by the Bombay bench of the Aurangabad High Court for the alleged spread of hatred about India by its social network service 'Orkut'. Justice A P Deshpande and Justice R M Borde issued the order in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by local Advocate Yugant R Marlapalle.
Google has six weeks to respond. The petition said a community called 'We Hate India', full of anti-India propaganda and with a picture of the Tricolour being burnt — has been created on Orkut. It sought the removal of the community from the site. The petition has also appealed to the government to appoint a 'controller' under the Information Technology Act-2000 to regulate all such communities from operating on the Internet.
Supreme Court lawyer Pavan Duggal said Google would be treated as a network-service provider under Indian law. If the site could be viewed and used in India, the country had a legitimate interest in its contents, he said.
Orkut is an online community that connects people through a network of friends. The web site is aimed at providing an online meeting place to socialise, make new acquaintances and find others with common interests.
