Google is ‘super-dominant’, not ‘dominant’: CCI tells tribunal
As per CCI, the Rs 1337.76-crore penalty on the tech giant was based on 'sound economic principles'
The Competition Commission of India has told the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal that Google is not a 'dominant' undertaking but rather 'super dominant', media networks have reported.
Solicitor General (ASG) N Venkataraman, appearing for CCI, has said that the Competition Act's guiding principles should be evaluated to check Google's dominant status.
CCI has argued that its Rs 1337.76-crore penalty on the tech giant was based on "sound economic principles".
Earlier, the Supreme Court had refused to modify its January order in the Android anti-trust case and had asked Google to make changes in the Android ecosystem as per the CCI's order.
