Hong Kong-based multi-level marketing company QNET, allegedly involved in ₹425-crore financial fraud, has filed an appeal in a sessions court here challenging a lower court order which had blocked its websites. The appeal would come up for hearing by May 31, court sources said.
On a plea made by Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police, a city Magistrate had on May 3 issued an order asking Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) of Information and Technology Department of the Union Government to block the websites/servers of the company.
Accordingly, the CERT blocked these websites which were allegedly indulging in online illegal money circulation schemes. Being aggrieved, QNET filed an appeal in the sessions court.
