Google has contended that the single judge, in his April 20 judgement, "mischaracterised" its search engine as a ''social media intermediary'' or ''significant social media intermediary'' as provided under the new rules.
"The single judge has misinterpreted and misapplied the New Rules 2021 to the appellant's search engine. Additionally, the single judge has conflated various sections of the IT Act and separate rules prescribed thereunder, and has passed template orders combining all such offences and provisions, which is bad in law," it has said in its appeal against the April 20 judgement.
