The judge's order to suspend telegram is because they did not comply, which apparently saying "that data does not exist" is not complying.
If "No, we cannot give you that data" is grounds for this sort of action, that sounds an awful lot like "companies cannot delete or end-to-end encrypt user's data", since those operations would similarly result in a "no, it is not technically possible to give you user's data".
