CCI urges Supreme Court to transfer Amazon, Flipkart cases to itself or Delhi High Court

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) urged the Supreme Court to transfer the cases involving Amazon and Flipkart to the Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT) for further proceedings. The cases concern alleged anti-competitive practices by these e-commerce giants, including preferential treatment of certain sellers and pricing strategies. The CCI’s request reflects its concern over the need for an expedited resolution of these significant cases involving the future of online retail in India. The Court’s intervention is crucial in ensuring fair competition and the protection of consumers in the rapidly growing e-commerce sector.
