Can you provide a link for that? I could only find that they'd hand over your personal account info if they get a court order claiming that you're a terror suspect (from https://telegram.org/privacy):

Maybe I can:
First a note: "your personal account info" while somewhat correct makes it sound broader than what the paragraph below says: "your IP address and phone number".
That said, here is one that that at least partially confirms this:

(emphasis mine)
There seems to be more in the search results here (if you have access to kagi, if not apply now:)
