Supreme Court backs moving cases against Amazon, Flipkart to Karnataka High Court
India TodayThe Supreme Court on Monday expressed its inclination to transfer petitions filed by e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart, challenging a Competition Commission of India probe order, to the Karnataka High Court for adjudication. “Prima facie, we are of the view that all cases, which are pending in various high courts, should be transferred to Karnataka High Court for hearing,” the bench observed, adding that the matter would next be heard on January 6, 2025. The court, however, instructed the Karnataka High Court to refrain from proceeding with the petitions filed by Amazon and Flipkart until further notice. In response to the CCI’s investigation order, both e-commerce companies filed separate petitions across multiple high courts, challenging the validity of the probe.
