SC transfers all cases against Flipkart, Amazon to Karnataka HC on CCI plea

The Supreme Court on Monday transferred to Karnataka High Court all cases alleging malpractices by e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart. The order came on a plea filed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI), which sought to consolidate all 24 cases pending across various high courts against Amazon and Flipkart.

During the hearing, a bench of Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan said if pleadings in some of the transferred petitions were not completed, the judge seized of the matter would grant reasonable time to complete the pleadings.
