Delhi HC reserves judgement in ADIF's suit against CCI and Google
The association filed a plea seeking an urgent CCI review of Google's in-app purchase billing system that is said to come into force on April 26
Delhi High Court has reserved its judgement in the petition filed by Alliance of Digital India Foundation (ADIF) against the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
ADIF comprises members such as Paytm, Matrimony, MapmyIndia and Truly Madly. The association filed a plea seeking an urgent CCI review of Google's in-app purchase billing system that is said to come into force on April 26.
ADIF asked the HC to urge CCI to urgently take up its complaints against Google's user choice billing (UCB) or to put the new system under abeyance till the review.
The body argued that Google's UCB is anti-competitive in nature and exploits CCI's lack of quorum to look into the industry body's complaints against the tech goliath.
Justice Tushar Rao Gadelaheard the matter on Tuesday, as well as the counsels of both parties, argued whether it was within CCI's ambit to review ADIF's complaint against Google.
