The Supreme Court is set to hear Google’s plea challenging the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal’s (NCLAT) decision to uphold the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) penalty of Rs 1,337.76 crore in January 2024. The penalty was imposed on Google for alleged abuse of its dominant position in various markets within the Android Mobile device ecosystem. The Chief Justice of India, along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, assured that the case would be listed in the last week of January 2024, aiming for a swift resolution. The CCI had directed Google to deposit 10% of the penalty amount before hearing the appeal earlier this year, and the NCLAT subsequently upheld the penalty but set aside four key directives issued by the commission in March.
