Why antitrust body CCI has moved Supreme Court against Amazon, Flipkart

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) recently filed a transfer petition in the Supreme Court, seeking to consolidate all 24 cases pending across various High Courts against Amazon and Flipkart, according to a report by Reuters.

The antitrust regulator claims these lawsuits, initiated by e-commerce platforms and their sellers in various states’ High Courts, aim to stall its investigation into alleged anti-competitive practices by the e-commerce giants.
