India’s Competition Commission has launched an investigation on Google in four different cases for abuse of dominant position. Corporate affairs minister Arun Jaitley told the Lok Sabha that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has received four cases against Google for alleged abuse of dominant position. CCI will investigate these cases under the provisions of the Competition Act, Jaitley said.
"In two cases filed by Consim Info and Consumer Unity & Trust Society, both against Google and Google India, a combined investigation report has been submitted by DG, CCI," Jaitley said. DG is the investigation arm of India’s regulator.
Two other cases have been filed against Vishal Gupta and Albion InfoTel. These have been filed against Google, Google Ireland and Google India. "The cases filed do not allege any financial loss to the government," Jaitley added.
