“Once we receive the report from the DG, (and) CCI, we will take action," news agency PTI quoted her as saying. Notably, Google had earlier faced orders issued against it by the watchdog in the cases related to Playstore and Android System.
“In the Android systems case, the CCI had passed a cease and desist order for abuse of dominant position in that segment. Besides, ten behavioural remedies were also directed by the regulator and thirdly, a penalty of ₹1,337 crore was imposed," Kaur told PTI.
“Google has deposited the penalty along with interest. On the behavioural remedies, the company had taken up the matter with the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).
The NCLAT had upheld the cease and desist order and six of the CCI’s directions. Now, the matter is pending before the Supreme Court where both the CCI and Google have filed petitions," she further said."Exciting news! Mint is now on WhatsApp Channels
