Companies move Madras HC seeking relief against Google’s payment policy

Four more companies, streaming player Altt, audiobook portal Pratilipi, art and design platform Crafto, and Tamil publisher Ananda Vikatan, have petitioned the Madras High Court for injunctions against Google’s payment policy implementation, reported The Economic Times (ET).

Several companies, including Matrimony.com, Shaadi.com, Unacademy, Kuku FM, and TrulyMadly, had previously approached the high court, challenging Google’s notice requiring them to use the company’s mandated billing route or risk being removed from its Play Store.

‘Relief from Google’s predatory moves’

Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal told ET, “It is clear that companies are hurting due to Google’s predatory moves and hence attempting to seek relief from the honourable courts.”
