NCLAT to hear Google’s appeal against Rs 936 crore penalty from Nov 28

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Monday said it will start hearing from 28 November Google’s appeal against the Competition Commission of India (CCI) order imposing a penalty of Rs 936.44 crore on the tech giant for abusing its dominant position through its Play Store policies.

The appellate tribunal has asked the parties in the case to submit their responses within four weeks.

Google had approached the NCLAT seeking a stay on the CCI’s 25 October order that imposed a fine of Rs 936.44 crore on it and asked Google to cease and desist from abusive practices in the Play Store.
