Google files plea against CCI over leaked report

Internet giant Google on Thursday moved the Delhi high court, saying that the alleged leak of information to media relating to an ongoing investigation by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) into its Android smart phone agreements, violates its “freedom of trade” and “severely affects their right to conduct business.

Google has said that the “unlawful disclosure” of the Director General’s Report and CCI’s failure to preserve confidentiality damages its reputation, is prejudicial and renders its rights of defense and due process redundant in proceedings before the CCI and the DG”.
