The Delhi High Court today quashed criminal proceedings against Microsoft India, one of the 21 websites summoned by a trial court for allegedly hosting objectionable contents.

Justice Suresh Kait set aside the trial court order for initiating criminal proceedings against the website. The High Court also gave complainant Vinay Rai liberty to file a fresh complaint if he finds later any credible piece of evidence against the website.

Justice Kait had earlier passed a similar order quashing criminal proceedings against Yahoo India.
