CAIT hails Karnataka HC decision on Amazon, Flipkart
Jun 11, 2021
New Delhi [India], June 11 : The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Friday hailed the Karnataka High Court's decision that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) can go ahead with a probe against Amazon and Flipkart for their alleged anti-competitive practices.
"We appeal @CCI_India to continue its probe," CAIT General Secretary Praveen Khandelwal twitted. "We also urge Shri @PiyushGoyal to bring new #PressNote without delay."
The High Court earlier dismissed a plea filed by e-commerce companies Amazon and Flipkart challenging a probe ordered by CCI against them for alleged violations of competition laws.
The order was pronounced by Justice P S Dinesh Kumar while hearing two petitions moved by them seeking to quash the probe ordered by CCI.
Amazon and Flipkart can now either go to a two judge bench in the High Court or the Supreme Court.
