Google’s counsel Harish Salve contended that the case introduced new legal questions for the court's consideration
Google and the CCI sought four days each to present their arguments, but the hearing in the case was delayed due to the SC’s busy schedule
The case harks back to October 2022 when the CCI slapped a fine of INR 1,337.76 Cr on Google for allegedly flouting antitrust norms with regards to its Android operating system
The Supreme Court (SC) will reportedly commence hearing Google’s appeal against the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal’s (NCLAT’s) decision to uphold the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI’s) INR 1,338 Cr antitrust penalty on the tech giant on April 30.
Interestingly, both Google and the CCI have challenged the tribunal’s ruling in connection with the matter. As per Mint, Google’s counsel Harish Salve contended that the case introduces new legal questions for the court’s consideration.
