The Delhi High Court has quashed criminal proceedings against Yahoo India. It was summoned earlier along with 20 other websites to face trial for allegedly hosting objectionable content on their web pages. Setting aside the summons, Justice Suresh Kait allowed the plea of the website that the lower court wrongly issued it without attributing any specific role to it.

The court, however, said that a private complaint, filed by a scribe Vinay Rai against the website, can be revived if credible and actionable pieces of evidence are filed against it.
