Expressing displeasure over this, the Delhi HC said that Twitter is violating the law by not appointing Grievance Redressal Officer under the new IT Rules. The court also slammed Twitter and asked how much time will it take for the appointment of the Grievance Officer. Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya, representing Twitter India, submitted that an interim grievance officer was appointed, but he had withdrawn his candidature on June 21. Poovayya sought time to seek instructions on the new appointment, which was allowed by the court, and it passed over the matter. Later, Poovayya submitted that he needs more time to obtain detailed instructions from San Francisco-based Twitter.
