Supreme Court denies special treatment to CCI over Amazon, Flipkart probe, refuses to transfer petitions

The Supreme Court has clarified to the Competition Commission of India that it will “not get special treatment” as the top court refuses to transfer the writ petitions filed in several High Courts challenging its antitrust probe against e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart.

The Supreme Court has suggested that all petitions be consolidated with a single judge according to the Karnataka High Court rules instead of being brought to the top court.
