New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to grant an urgent hearing to Google on its challenge to a single-judge order asking the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to consider a plea against the tech giant’s policy of allowing the use of third-party payment processors for paid app downloads and in-app purchases on a commission basis. The matter was mentioned for an urgent listing by senior advocate Sandeep Sethi, who appeared for Google before a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad.
