Karnataka HC allows CCI probe against alleged violations by Amazon, Flipkart
Traders apex body (DVM) had alleged in October 2019 that the e-tailers were giving preferential treatment to select vendors with indirect control on their operations
Quashing the petitions of the e-tailers, the Karnataka High Court on Friday allowed the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to probe the alleged violations of the competition law by Amazon and Flipkart.
Justice PS Dinesh Kumar dismissed the petitions, which challenged the CCI probe into the e-commerce firms, and allowed the watchdog to investigate the reported violations by them. CCI can go ahead with a probe against Amazon and Flipkart for alleged anti-competitive practices, said the single-judge bench in its order.
