Delhi HC gives FB, WhatsApp till Aug 27 to respond to CCI

New Delhi:31.07.2021 

The Delhi high court said on Friday it will hear on August 27 the appeals filed by Facebook and WhatsApp against the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI's) probe into the instant messaging app’s new privacy policy.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh listed the matter for August after additional solicitor general Balbir Singh, representing CCI, sought some time to respond to the pleas. Senior advocate Harish Salve, representing WhatsApp, contended that if the CCI wants time, the petitioners have no objection as long as the commission does not insist on filing a reply to its June 4 notice by August 5 asking it to furnish certain information in relation to the probe.

WhatsApp and Facebook, also represented by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, have challenged the CCI’s June 4 and 8 notices, respectively. TNN
