Delhi HC adjourns hearing petitions challenging Whatsapp’s new Privacy Policy for August 27

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing of a bunch of petitions challenging Whatsapp’s new Privacy Policy for August 27.

The Bench of Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh on Thursday found no urgency in the matter and deferred the hearing for the next date.

Earlier, WhatsApp had told the Delhi High Court that it will not limit functionality for some time and continue to show users the updates from time to time until Data Protection Bill comes into force. WhatsApp further submitted that it has voluntarily agreed to put on hold the update, which triggered the controversy till Data Protection Bill comes into force.
