Amid the ongoing tussle between Twitter and the Indian government, the Delhi High Court will today hear a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking action against the microblogging platform for not complying with the new Information Technology Rules.

The plea, filed by Amit acharya, has raised the complaint that Twitter has not appointed a resident grievance officer. In an affidavit on Monday, Acharya said that he had come across some allegedly defamatory tweets, but when he sought to file a complaint, he could not find contact details of a grievance officer located in India on Twitter.
