Accept Google’s all requests regarding confidentiality, CCI tells Delhi HC

New Delhi: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Monday informed the Delhi high court that it has no objection in accepting all requests by Google regarding confidentiality in the interests of expediting proceedings related to an investigation into the technology company’s agreements with smartphone makers for its Android OS.

Justice Rekha Palli was informed by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) N Venkatraman that even though CCI stands by the legality of its September 8 order in which it rejected Google’s appeal to reconsider the confidentiality issue, it is accepting the company’s request to fast track the ongoing investigation.
