Report leak: Probe to continue, Delhi High Court raps Google for writing to CCI chief

The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to stay the ongoing probe by the Competition Commission of India into Google’s Android smartphone agreements. It also disapproved the move by the company’s senior executive based in California, writing to the CCI chairman warning of legal action over the alleged leak leak of confidential information related to the ongoing probe.

“Your client had no business writing to the adjudicating authority. If your client wanted to inform, it could have written to the Registrar… Advise your client. Just because he is there (in California)… he should know that if you want to function in a country, he has to know the law,” Justice Rekha Palli told senior counsel AM Singhvi, appearing for Google, during the hearing.
