NCLAT order for CCI probe against e-tailer Flipkart stayed

BENGALURU: The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a stay into the probe ordered by the
National Company Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on March 4, 2020 into alleged anti-competitive practices by e-commerce firm Flipkart. NCLAT had asked the market regulator Competition Commision of
India (CCI) to investigate the abuse of market dominance by Flipkart as alleged by AIOVA.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for Flipkart, told the apex court that the company is not a dominant player in India’s e-commerce market and hence there is no question of abuse of position. Other e-commerce players such as Amazon and Snapdeal are some of the other players who enjoy a significant market share. He also added that NCLAT’s probe was based on the findings of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, which is not related to the case.
