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

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.

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

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.
