The HC on August 30 rejected Telegram's argument that it cannot share the data relating to the creators or users of the channels as its data was stored in servers in Singapore and the law there does not allow it to disclose such information.

Telegram — a popular freemium cross-platform messaging application (app) — has disclosed the administrator names, phone numbers, and internet protocol (IP) addresses of the channels sharing study materials of KD Campus and their teacher Neetu Singh for competitive examinations before the Delhi High Court (HC) on November 24.

This was done in compliance with the August 30 order of the same court, saying courts in India can direct a messaging app to disclose copyright-infringing information.

The plea was filed by Neetu Singh and KD Campus, seeking to restrain users from sharing their videos, lectures, and books on Telegram.
