										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has claimed that India&#8217;s new IT laws for digital platforms do not apply to its search engine and has asked the Delhi High Court to vacate the single-judge order imposed on the business. The decision was taken when a woman&#8217;s photographs were uploaded on a pornographic site and even after several pleas by the court, the pictures were not taken down.</p>
<p>Notices have been sent to the Center, Delhi Government, Internet Service Providers Association of India, Facebook, and the pornographic site by Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh. They were asked to submit the responses to the plea by Google.</p>
<p>No interim order would be sought now since Google informed that it was an intermediary, but not a social media intermediary.</p>
