WhatsApp gets a reversal from SC, CCI’s disquisition on sequestration policy will continue
Whatsapp sequestration policy WhatsApp and its parent company
Meta( Facebook) have entered a reversal from the Supreme Court. The
disquisition of CCI i.e. Competition Commission of India will continue
regarding their new sequestration policy. Both had sought a stay on the end of
the order by the CCI citing the pending hail in the Supreme Court regarding the
validity of the policy. But the Supreme Court refused to pass such an order.
SC dismisses petitions
The Supreme Court, while dismissing the desires, said that
the CCI itself is an independent body, if it's probing for the violation of the
Competition Act, also this disquisition can not be stopped.
Eariler , the Delhi High Court, while rejecting the
operations of WhatsApp and Facebook, refused to stay the CCI’s disquisition on
the sequestration policy. Both had moved the Supreme Court against this order.
META’s lawyer argues
During the hail moment, Kapil Sibal appeared on behalf of
META. Kapil Sibal said, ‘ The issue of validity of WhatsApp’s new sequestration
policy is pending before the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court. The
Constitution Bench is listed to hear in January. The Data Protection Bill is
likely to be introduced in the downtime session of Parliament. In such a
situation, the CCI should refrain from passing the final order for now.
No stay on CCI’s investigation
On this, Justice MR Shah said that the CCI is an independent
institution in itself. Their action can not be stopped like this. Sibal made it
clear that he wasn't seeking to stop the disquisition. Just want that the
commission shouldn't pass the final order now. still, Justice MR Shah denied
this and said that we don't know what will be the outgrowth of the CCI
disquisition. You go to CCI, put your point in front of them. During the hail,
ASG N Venkataraman on behalf of the CCI said that the pending hail in the
Supreme Court has nothing to do with the disquisition of the CCI.
Scope of investigation by CCI
In fact, in the new sequestration policy of WhatsApp,
druggies can partake data with Facebook and its other companies. CCI believes
that similar data will give Facebook an unreasonable edge over other companies
and keep it ahead of the competition. CCI is probing about this.
