NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Twitter asked an Indian court on Tuesday to overturn some government orders to remove content from the social media platform, a source familiar with the matter said, in a legal challenge which alleges abuse of power by officials.

The U.S. company's attempt to get a judicial review of the orders is part of a growing confrontation with New Delhi.
