The judge noted that the accused has already spent more than half the maximum sentence prescribed for the alleged offence.
The plea, by a lawyer, stated that the Information Technology Rules came into effect from February 25 and the Centre had given three months to every social media intermediary, including Twitter, to comply with them.
The micro-blogging site has also said it may fall within the definition of a "significant social media intermediary" under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.
Twitter has to comply with the new Information Technology Rules for digital media if they have not been stayed, the Delhi high court said on Monday.
The court's direction came after being informed that the Ministry of Defence has granted the approval for electricity connections to the migrants living in north Delhi's Adarsh Nagar area.
