Supreme Court Issues Notice To Google India On Indian App Developers' Plea Against Play Store Billing Policy

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on February 2 issued notice on a petition to Google India on petitions filed by filed by tech start-ups challenging Google Play Store's billing policy as exploitative. However, a bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, and Justices Manoj Misra and Satish Chandra Sharma refused to immediately stay Google's decision to remove apps from its Play Store over non-compliance with its billing policies. The petitioners, including Arha Media and Broadcasting, Mebigo Labs, and Crescere Technologies, have filed special leave petitions challenging the Madras High Court's August 3 verdict dismissing their challenge against the billing policy on grounds of maintainability under the Competition Act. During the hearing, Senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi and Balbir Singh, representing the aggrieved app developers and startups, contended that the high court's jurisdiction is not barred by the Competition Act since the allegation was not over an abuse of dominant position, but one-sided and unconscionable terms and conditions set by the US tech major.
