Delhi High Court gives Twitter ‘last opportunity’ to show compliance with IT rules

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said Twitter was in total non-compliance of the Information Technology Rules and granted the American social networking company one week time as a “last opportunity” to file better affidavits showing its compliance.

A single judge bench of Justice Rekha Palli said that affidavits filed by the company “clearly show total non-compliance of the rules. One week’s time as a last opportunity is granted to file a better affidavit in terms of the earlier orders passed by the court”.

The court further ordered that the affidavit to be filed must clearly state the details of the third-party contract worker Twitter has appointed as its chief compliance officer and resident grievance officer.
