CCI probe: Supreme Court transfers Amazon, Flipkart pleas to Karnataka HC

The Supreme Court has ordered the transfer of petitions filed by Amazon and Flipkart to the Karnataka High Court. These petitions filed by the e-commerce platforms challenge a Competition Commission of India (CCI) probe into alleged malpractices. The directive came from a bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, which instructed the high court to allow reasonable time for completing pleadings in pending cases. Attorney General R Venkataramani has informed the apex court that five pleas related to the CCI probe had been filed in different high courts after the competition watchdog approached the Supreme Court.
