A Delhi court today asked asked for provisions of the Information Technology Act to be incorporated in a complaint against industrialist and Rajya Sabha MP Rahul Bajaj for allegedly posting a disfigured map of India on the website of his insurance partner, Allianz.

"It appears that the alleged offence is also related with the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2009. The complainants are directed to incorporate them as well," Metropolitan Magistrate Geetanjali Goel said.

The court, which was to pronounce its order on the complaint seeking the issuance of a summons to Bajaj, has now fixed August 19 for hearing the remaining arguments relating to applicability of the IT Act.

Earlier, the court had reserved its order on the complaint against Bajaj in the map row.

The complaint seeks to summon and prosecute Bajaj because Allianz's website allegedly carried a picture of the Indian map in which Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh were shown as parts of Pakistan and China, respectively. Bajaj has an insurance business JV with Allianz.

One of the complainants, Sanjay Sachdeva, earlier told the court that the "disfigured" map was in contravention of India's territory, as defined in the Constitution.

Earlier, the court recorded the statements of Sachdeva and two other complainants, Harsh Malhotra and Sonu Rangi, to ascertain whether a case against Bajaj should be made out or not.

Sachdeva, a member of the Delhi Pradesh unit of the National Panthers Party, had sought the prosecution of Bajaj under Section 124A (sedition) of the IPC on the ground that the disfigurement of the India map was an "anti-national" act.

Responding to the allegations, Bajaj had earlier told PTI that the portal, which depicted the map with the reported discrepancy, belonged to his company's insurance venture partner, Allianz.

The complaint, on the other hand, alleged that "in the website (allianz.com)... he intentionally... depicted the state of Jammu & Kashmir as a part of Pakistan and Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China.
