NCLAT to hear online vendors’ plea against CCI order on Flipkart

The NCLAT has admitted a petition filed by an online vendors association challenging the orders of fair trade regulator CCI, which had absolved e-commerce major Flipkart of unfair practices using its dominant position.

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has also approved the delay of 12 days in filing appeal (By the association) against the order of the Competition Commission of India (CCI).

“The appeal is admitted for hearing. As the respondents have appeared, no further notice need be issued,” said the National Company Law Tribunal in its order on May 15.

A three-member NCLAT bench headed by Chairman Justice S J Mukhopadhaya has directed to list the matter for hearing on July 30.
