Flipkart challenges Karnataka High Court order allowing Competition Commission of India investigation

The Hindu  

Walmart Inc’s Flipkart and Amazon.com Inc have filed legal challenges against the resumption of an antitrust investigation into their business practices, according to sources and a legal filing viewed by Reuters. The Competition Commission of India launched an investigation in January last year after a complaint accused Flipkart and Amazon of promoting select sellers on their e-commerce platforms and using deep discounts to stifle competition. The fresh appeal from Flipkart filed on June 16, argues that decision by the Karnataka High Court to allow the probe to resume was erroneous and must be put on hold. "Irreparable injury will be caused to the appellant if the investigation was to continue pending the present appeal," the Flipkart filing, which was not made public but has been viewed by Reuters, said.
