Google Alleges India Antitrust Body Copied Parts Of Eu Order: Google argued that an antitrust ruling against the US corporation for abusing the dominance of its Android operating system in the Indian market should be overturned.
For abusing its monopolistic position in markets like online search and the Android app store, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) fined Alphabet Inc.’s Google US$161 million in October and demanded that it change the restrictions put in place on smartphone manufacturers with regard to pre-installing apps.

According to sources who spoke to Reuters in October, Google was concerned about the Indian decision because the remedies mandated were believed to be more extensive than those described in the historic 2018 decision by the European Commission that found the restrictions placed on manufacturers of Android mobile devices were illegal. In that case, Google has appealed a record-breaking 4.1 billion euro ($4.3 billion) penalties.
Google said that the CCI’s investigation section “copied heavily from a European Commission decision, utilising evidence from Europe that was not considered in India” in its submission to an Indian appeals panel.
Google said in its filing, which is private but was examined by Reuters, that there were “more than 50 instances of copypasting,” in some cases “word for word,” and the watchdog had wrongly ignored the problem. For more information, please Visit Digitalnewsexpert.com.
