The Hindu
Court dismisses the appeal filed by the companies against June 11 order of single judge bench
E-commerce majors Amazon and Flipkart have lost their legal battle in the High Court of Karnataka as even a division bench has upheld the Competition Commission of India’s decision to conduct an investigation through its Director General into whether they had entered into anti-competitive agreements in violation of the provisions of the Competition Act 2002. Observing that the enquiry initiated by the CCI cannot be crushed at the initial stage, the division bench has described the approach of both the e-commerce majors as ‘an attempt to ensure that the enquiry does not attain finality’.More Related News
