New Delhi: The Delhi High Court said on Tuesday that the government was “free to take action” on Twitter microblogging sites because it did not follow the new rules and warn the platform would be “in trouble” if it failed to obey.
“From June 21 to July 6, you can appoint new people (a population complaint officer).
How long does your process will take? Will Twitter think it will continue as much time as you want in our country? I will not allow it,” Judge Rekha Palli Observing, giving a two-day company to submit a time frame “comes with clear instructions, if not, you will be difficult,” said Justice Palli to Twitter advisor.
“Let the government and everyone know your seat,” said the judge after the company looked for more time to tell the court when it would appoint a resident complaint (RGO) and fill in other main posts.
HC heard a request that accused the failure by Twitter to comply with the rules of the new information technology center and took the exception to the company’s stand that it was in the process of appointing RGO.
HC shows that only a temporary RGO designated by Twitter and the wrong impression was given to the court on May 31 because it was not told that it was a temporary appointment.
When the center, represented by additional lawyers General Chetan Sharma, said the rules were notified on February 25 and the three-month window was given to intermediaries to comply with the rules, HC wondered why there was no action.
“We don’t provide protection, you are free to take any action.
If they break, you know what to do.
…
if they want to work, they have to follow the rules,” said the judge.
The shift regulates cases of HCS to SC: the central government has approached the Supreme Court who is looking for the transfer of all petitions that challenge information technology rules (IT), 2021, from various high courts to the field.
This center has submitted a transfer petition that says some HCS including Delhi, Bombay, Madras, and Kerala, seized from this problem, and this problem was decided by the APEX court.
According to the status of the case shown on the APEX court website, the central application, submitted earlier, is likely to be registered to hear on July 9.
Some please challenge the validity of the newly postponed rules in the Delhi High Court who have searched for responses from the middle of this petition.
HC: free govt to act against Twitter for it breaking the rules
