Madras HC temporarily restrains Google from delisting apps of startups

The Madras High Court on Friday temporarily restrained Google from delisting apps of Indian startups from its Play Store.

This division bench’s order will apply if startups pay 4 per cent of gross revenue of downloads from the Store and share data for it with Google every month.

The court had on August 4 dismissed pleas filed by 14 companies , including matchmaking website Bharat Matrimony and edtech firm Unacademy, against Google’s in-app billing policy. The next hearing in this matter is likely on August 23.
