Ahmed and Justice Vibhu Bakhru told the central government&#8217;s counsel to seek instructions in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The direction came after the petitioner alleged that Facebook was adopting a cumbersome procedure for users to send a complaint to its grievance officer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The court had, while hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed earlier by former BJP leader K.N. Govindacharya, asked social networking sites to display on their websites the name and contact details of grievance officers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It also asked the government to ensure that other social networking sites appointed a grievance officer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, advocate Virag Gupta, appearing for Govindacharya, told the bench that to send a complaint by post to the grievance officer of Facebook, the complainant has to first send it to Ireland, its headquarters; and if through an e-mail, it had to be sent with digital signature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The counsel objected to the move of the social networking site to make it mandatory for a complainant to have an electronic signature, saying very few people here have opted for this kind of signature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In its order the bench said: &#8220;We find that the provision with regard to electronic signature under Information Technology Act is, till date, blank.
