Google Approaches Supreme Court In CCI Case

Tech major Google approached the Supreme Court on Saturday after it failed to get relief at the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.

Jan 19 is the deadline for Google to amend its agreements with OEMs. In its plea before the NCLAT, it contended that the CCI had failed to conduct an "impartial, balanced, and legally sound investigation", and had ignored evidence from Indian users, app developers, and OEMs. It called the regulator's findings "patently erroneous", which ignore the reality of competition in India, Google’s pro-competitive business model, and the benefits created for all stakeholders.

The date for the hearing before the apex court has not been decided yet.
