NCLAT Seeks Google’s Response On Pleas Against CCI Order

SUMMARY

The responses were sought by the watchdog on Friday (May 10), and scheduled for next hearing on May 24

The fresh development comes on the back of CCI’s order passed in March which dismissed their interim relief applications that sought a restriction on Google from imposing a commission on developers as part of its updated payments policy

Consequently, Google was left free to delist the apps of the startups involved from Play Store in case of non-compliance with the payments policies

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has sought responses from Google on startup’s plea against the Competition Commission of India (CCI)’s refusal to a stay on the Play Store billing policy.

The responses were sought by the watchdog on Friday (May 10) and listed the case for next hearing on May 24.
