Google will now appeal the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) order, which denied Google any interim relief in the case involving its alleged dominance in the Android device market.
Siding with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), the tribunal ordered the company to deposit 10% of the INR 1,377 Cr penalty imposed by the competition watchdog a few days ago. The legal challenge comes just days before the January 19 deadline for implementing the CCI order. The CCI is also investigating it in India for abusing its dominance in the news aggregation space.
