The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Department of Telecommunications, and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India in a challenge to messaging service provider WhatsApp’s new privacy policy.

Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal issued notice yesterday in a PIL filed by final-year law student Shreya Sethi, and engineering student Karmanya Singh Sareen. The petitioners have challenged the recent change in WhatsApp’s user policies that would allow social media giant, and WhatsApp’s owner, Facebook to access WhatsApp user data.
