The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) is already hearing the Competition Commission of India (CCI) vs Google case with regards to Android mobile devices. As per latest updates, the NCLAT reportedly directed the listing of petitions of Micromax and Karbonn, challenging CCI’s order on Android mobile devices, against Google.
According to a PTI report, the NCLAT will decide “for admission” of both Micromax and Karbonn’s petitions as in them, both have challenged CCI’s order that has imposed a penalty on Google. In addition to this, the report adds, that the bench has also directed its registry to place on record the appeal filed by Google with regards to this case.

For the unversed, the NCLAT was hearing two separate appeals filed by Micromax and Jaina India, which sells mobile devices under Karbonn India. Both were reportedly supporting Google in their appeals. So, when Google’s plea was listed in NCLAT, along with that, these two were also listed. However, due to some errors, it wasn’t taken up.
“The registry is also directed to place the record of 'Competition Appeal (AT) No. 01 of 2023' (filed by Google) on the next date,” PTI quoted the NCLAT as saying.
Recently, the NCLAT refused to pass an interim order on Google’s petition and hence did not grant any immediate stay on the CCI’s order. Instead, as per last updates, the NCLAT directed Google to deposit 10 per cent of the penalty amount within three weeks.
