Google has been ordered to hand over the account information and IP address of a person who a Victorian Labor candidate alleges defamed them in an email.

Nurul Khan was endorsed to run for the Labor party in last year's state election, but an email littered with allegations against him was sent to ministers and news organisations on 9 November.
