“We are seeking to join Indian developers in Court to support the CCI’s order that requires Google to allow competing third-party app stores on the Google Play Store. While the Alliance Digital India Foundation (ADIF), which filed the complaint that led to the CCI investigation, has also complained about Google's non-compliance, it isn't clear whether ADIF has mounted a legal challenge so far. Why does this matter: Epic Games approaching NCLAT appears to be the first legal challenge questioning Google's compliance with the CCI orders.
Google last month said that it will make changes to Android and Play Store to comply with the two orders issued by the CCI, but various stakeholders have pointed out that the compliance falls short. The company has approached India's National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) alleging that Google is not complying with the antitrust orders issued by the country's antitrust watchdog, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), Economic Times reported on February 15. Epic Games, which makes the popular Fortnite game and is well known in the tech circles for dragging Apple and Google to court in various countries, is now going after Google Play Store in India.
