Delhi HC tells CCI to hold off final order against Apple in App Store antitrust probe

The Delhi High Court has asked the Competition Commission of India to avoid passing any final order in its antitrust probe into Apple’s App Store practices. The bench, citing possible complications, noted that Apple’s separate legal challenge to India’s competition penalty framework is still pending. After the court’s direction, CCI assured it would not issue a final decision. The dispute escalated as Apple challenged the regulator’s push for global financial records and CCI’s May 21 final hearing schedule.
