Messaging platform Telegram approached the Delhi High Court on Tuesday to challenge the Indian government's order temporarily blocking the app ahead of a retest of a nationwide medical college entrance examination, according to a report by Indian news outlet Bar and Bench.
According to the report citing Madhav Khosla, the lawyer representing Telegram, the court agreed to hear the matter today on an urgent basis.
Khosla told the Bench that Telegram has over 150 million users who have been affected by the government's ban.
Telegram has yet to officially comment about the temporary ban.
Why is the Indian government blocking Telegram?
