An appeal in the Supreme Court by Google against an Andhra Pradesh High Court's dismissal of its petition in a 2009 defamation case comes up for another hearing on Monday.The original lawsuit was brought against Google by Visaka Industries, a Secunderabad-based asbestos cement sheets manufacturer that claimed an organisation called the Ban Asbestos Network India posted a blog that was specifically defamatory to the manufacturer, using Google's blogging service.Visaka named Gopal Krishna, the convenor of BANI for his July 2008 blogpost in its lawsuit and claimed Google too was liable as the blog was hosted on its network.While this latest hearing, the eighth listing, according to the Supreme Court's website, will likely be one of many more to come, "the outcome of the case will affect all search engines, social media sites, blogs, online retailers and news sites to some extent," said Prashant Mali, president of Cyber Law Consulting (Advocates & Attorneys).
