Delhi High Court tells CCI to pause Apple final order until July 15

Apple’s penalty fight hinges on turnover language

The Delhi High Court has directed the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to refrain from issuing any final order against Apple until July 15. The move follows Apple’s challenge to an amended Competition Act that enables penalties based on global turnover, not just turnover from relevant services. While the court allowed CCI to proceed with the investigation, it stressed that issuing a final, appealable order could make Apple’s petition against the amendment ineffective.
