In a new twist to the ongoing battle between domestic digital start-ups and Google over the latter’s proposed User Choice Billing (UCB) policy, the Alliance of Digital India Foundation (ADIF) has moved Delhi High Court seeking an order to hold that CCI can validly invoke “doctrine of necessity” in the Google App Store policy case for initiating non-compliance proceedings against the tech giant.

Delhi High Court has also been urged to direct CCI to take up “timely adjudication” of the interim relief applications filed by ADIF, which had complained to the competition watchdog about non-effective compliance by Google of the CCI’s final order of October 25 last year in the Google play store policies case.
