Vinay Rai v. Facebook India and Ors. | Summons Order: by Pranesh Prakash — published Mar 15, 2012 — last modified Mar 15, 2012 07:53 AM — filed under: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Court Case
This is Judge Sudesh Kumar's summons order (dated December 23, 2011) by which he notes there is enough prima facie evidence to proceed with trial against the intermediaries named and their senior officials. In the order he notes that, "It seems that instead of regulating the undesirable and offensive content they have promoted the same for increasing the profits and promoting their business. They have closed their eyes and promoted obscene derogatory defamatory and inflammatory material continuously on their network. It appears from a bare perusal of the documents that prima facie the accused in connivance with each other and other unknown persons are selling, publicly exhibiting and have put into circulation obscene, lascivious content which also appeals to the prurient interests and tends to deprave and corrupt the persons who are likely to read, see or hear the same."

This blog post argues that the government should, keeping in mind the larger picture, still go ahead and legalise parallel imports.
