Delhi HC on Tuesday expressed displeasure over Twitter delaying the appointment of grievance redressal officer. The court said Twitter is in defiance of the law for not appointing the grievance redressal officer as necessitated under new IT Rules

The High Court asked Twitter why no new India-based grievance officer had been appointed after the resignation of Dharmendra Chatur on June 21.

Twitter, which is weeks past its deadline to comply with new IT rules requiring social media sites to appoint India-based officers, said it was likely to need two more weeks.

Twitter was today sternly told that it cannot take "as long as it wants" in this country to appoint a grievance officer.
