The Delhi High Court on Monday issued a notice to social media giant Twitter on a petition filed against it for alleged non-compliance of the new I-T rules.

The petition has been filed by advocate Amit Acharya, who alleged that he was unable to find details of a resident grievance officer on Twitter's website which is in violation of the new I-T Rules that came into effect on May 25. The petitioner also argued that Twitter has appointed a US resident as the Grievance Officer but the same which is not in tune with the new rules.

The court said Twitter has to comply with the new Information Technology Rules for digital media if they have not stayed.

Meanwhile, representatives of Twitter told the High Court that it has complied with new rules and has already appointed a resident grievance officer on May 28
