NCLAT upholds Rs 1,337.76 cr fine imposed on Google by competition watchdog

The NCLAT on Wednesday upheld the order of the fair trade regulator CCI imposing a penalty of Rs 1,337.76 crore on Internet giant Google.

A two-member bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) directed Google to implement the direction and deposit the amount in 30 days.

The NCLAT bench comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Alok Shrivastava also made some modifications to the CCI order.

It also rejected Google’s plea that there was a violation of natural justice by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) in the probe.
