New Delhi: In a setback to Amazon and Flipkart, the Supreme Court refused Monday to stop the preliminary anti-trust probe by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) against the e-commerce giants. The Supreme Court said that it expects such big organisations as Amazon and Flipkart to offer themselves for the inquiry.

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana declined to entertain the separate appeals of Amazon and Flipkart against the order of the Karnataka High Court which had refused to stop the CCI from carrying out a preliminary probe into the alleged violation of the competition law by the two e-commerce companies.

Challenging the enquiry is like wanting a notice before the registration of an FIR under the criminal law, the bench, which also comprised Justices Vineet Saran and Surya Kant, observed. It asked the e-commerce giants to submit themselves to the probe by the CCI.

“We expect big organisations like Amazon and Flipkart to offer themselves for the inquiry and you do not want that. You have to submit and enquiry has to be permitted,” the top court said.

The CCI’s January 2020 probe order followed a complaint by ‘Delhi Vyapar Mahasangh’, whose members include many traders dealing in smart phones and related accessories. It alleged that the e-commerce firms have been violating the law. The Karnataka High Court had also refused to stay the CCI probe.

“We see no reason to interfere with the impugned orders passed by the High Court of Karnataka dismissing the Writ Appeals of the petitioners,” the apex court said after hearing the submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the CCI, and senior advocates Gopal Subramanium and AM Singhvi, appearing for Amazon and Flipkart respectively.

On being told by Singhvi that the time to respond to the CCI was expiring August 9 itself, the bench extended the time by four more weeks which was objected to by Mehta. He said a week should be given to these firms as in Covid times people mostly shop online through these companies.

“At this stage, Dr AM Singhvi, senior counsel submits that time to reply to the notice issued by the Office of the Director General, Competition Commission of India is going to expire on 9­-8­-2021 and prays for extension of time. Taking into consideration the request made by the learned senior counsel, time to reply to the notice is extended by a further period of four weeks from today. It is made clear that no further extension of time would be granted for the purpose,” the top court ordered.

The Karnataka High Court had on July 23 rejected the plea of Amazon-Flipkart against the CCI probe for alleged violations of the competition law.
