Here’s what Supreme Court has to say on Google plea against CCI’s penalty

Google recently approached the Supreme Court in connection with an order in which Competition Commission of India (CCI) imposed a Rs 1,337 crore penalty on it. The apex court has now asked will the technology giant follow the same steps in India as it has in Europe.

During the hearing, a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud asked senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared as Google’s counsel, “will Google practice the same regime in place in India as you have in Europe? Please reflect on this and come back.”

N Venkatraman, Additional Solicitor General of India representing CCI said that Google was taking different standards in Europe and India.
