Legal notice to Google for 'hatred against India'

Oct 10, 2006

AURANGABAD: The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court has directed the 
Maharashtra government to issue a notice to Google for alleged spread of hatred
about India by its social network service Orkut.

The order was issued by Justices AP Deshpande and RM Borde yesterday in 
response to a public interest litigation filed by advocate Yugant R Marlapalle.

A picture of a burning national tricolour, bearing an anti-India messsage, was 
put on orkut.com and a community 'We Hate India' has been created on the
site, the
petition said.

The petition also appealed to the government to appoint a `controller' under 
the Information Technology Act 2000 to regulate communities on the Internet.

Orkut is an online community that conects people through a network of friends. 
The website provides an online meeting place to socialise, make acquaintances
and find others with common interests.

The next hearing in the case is after six weeks. I'm not too sure about Amitabh 
as Gabbar Singh. Either way it is a big dice to roll - Kinjal Parmar
