Earlier this year, US firms Twitter, Amazon, Facebook, and Facebook-owned WhatsApp got into loggerheads with New Delhi over data privacy laws and regulations. Amazon and WhatsApp have long been fighting court cases in the country over rules and regulations.
Technology giant Google has taken India's anti-trust body, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), to the Delhi High Court over a confidential report leak on Thursday. The tech giant, in a statement, said it aims to prevent any further unlawful disclosures of confidential findings by the investigative arm of the CCI.
"Google has not yet had the opportunity to review the Director General's findings, much less submit its defence of any allegations", the statement read.
On 20 September,
Reuters reported that the CCI, in its two-year-long probe, found that Google had abused its power in the country to hurt competitors.
"Alphabet Inc's
(GOOGL.O) Google reduced the ability and incentive of device manufacturers to develop and sell devices operating on alternative versions of Android, says the June report by the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) investigations unit", the news report, based on CCI's confidential investigation and obtained by Reuters, read.
The development comes as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet America's top businesses in Washington to seek investment.
As per initial reports, the CEOs of Qualcomm (Cristiano R. Amon), Adobe (Shantanu Narayen), First Solar (Mark Widmar), General Atomics (Vivek Lall), and Blackstone (Stephen A. Schwarzman), among others, will attend the meeting. Prime Minister Modi is on a three-day visit to the United States.
