Android mobile device case: SC to hear pleas oof Google, CCI on July 14

NEW DELHI, July 7: The Supreme Court on Friday said it will hear on July 14 the cross-pleas of Google and the Competition Commission of India (CCI) challenging the verdict of an appellate tribunal in a case related to Google's alleged anti-competitive practices in the android mobile device case.
On March 29, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) had handed out a mixed verdict on Google's alleged anti-competitive practices in the case - upholding a fine of Rs 1,338 crore but scrapping conditions like allowing hosting of third-party app stores on its play store.
While upholding the fine imposed by the CCI for exploiting its dominant position in Android, the NCLAT had struck down anti-trust regulator order that had said Google will not restrict the removal of its pre-installed apps by the users.
Both Google and the CCI came to the Supreme Court against the NCLAT judgement.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha took up the appeals and adjourned the hearing to next Friday after taking note of the submissions that senior advocate Harish Salve, representing one of the parties, was unavailable.
"We will list these for hearing on July 14," the CJI said.
Earlier, the NCLAT in its 189-page order, upheld CCI's six directions, including one in which Google was asked to allow the users during the initial device setup to choose their default search engine, and another that made it clear that OEMs cannot be forced to pre-install a bouquet of apps. The appellate tribunal asked Google to implement the direction and deposit the amount in 30 days.
The appellate tribunal said "the impugned order of the Commission is upheld except the four directions" issued and added that Google is "thus not entitled for any other relief except for setting aside the above four directions".
"The Appellant (Google) is allowed to deposit the amount of penalty (after adjusting the 10 per cent amount of penalty as deposited under order dated January 4, 2023) within a period of 30 days from today," it said.
On October 20 last year, the CCI slapped a penalty of Rs 1,337.76 crore on Google for anti-competitive practices in relation to Android mobile devices. The regulator also ordered the internet major to cease and desist from various unfair business practices. This ruling was challenged before the NCLAT, which is an appellate authority over the orders passed by the CCI. Out of the 10 directions issued by the CCI on October 20, 2022, to Google, the NCLAT had upheld the six directions and said it "is allowed 30 days time to implement the measures".
One of the important directions by CCI upheld by the NCLAT said Google will allow the users, during the initial device setup, to choose their default search engine for all search entry points.
The tribunal also upheld five other directions of CCI - that OEMs shall not be forced to pre-install the bouquet app; licensing of Play Store to OEMs shall not be linked with the requirement of pre-installing Google apps.
