New Delhi: A Delhi court yesterday stayed the proceedings against 13 websites, including Facebook and Google, on a complaint which accused them of promoting “class enmity” and “undermining national integrity”.

Citing denial of assistance from the US authorities, Metropolitan Magistrate Jay Thareja stayed the proceedings against the websites, including Orkut, YouTube, Yahoo and Microsoft.

The court said recording of pre-charge evidence against other accused websites would commence from September 28. The complaint was filed against the websites by transparency activist Vinay Rai for allegedly committing offences like selling obscene materials to the youth and hatching criminal conspiracy. IANS
