Facebook and WhatsApp have urged the Delhi High Court to stay Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) notice asking them to furnish certain information in relation to a probe ordered by it into WhatsApp’s new privacy policy.
As per industry sources, a vacation bench hearing this matter has said it will pass an order on the plea.
During the hearing, the bench said since it was sitting on a vacation bench, it did not want to delve into the merits of the matter even as the main petitions are pending before a bench headed by the Chief Justice.
The case relates to the appeals of Facebook and WhatsApp against a single judge order dismissing their pleas against CCI’s probe ordered into WhatsApp’s new privacy policy.
