In our third post of the series, Sakshi Sharma, a 2nd-year member at CRCLP analyses the Google-CCI case wherein the NCLAT upheld Rs. 1137 Cr. fine imposed by the CCI on Google for abusing its dominant position in Android Mobile Ecosystem. NCLAT has asked Google to implement the CCI directions and deposit the amount in 30 days.

It is a significant legal battle that draws attention to the issue of anti-competitive practices by tech giants like Google. The case is important not just for India but for other nations as well since it underscores the necessity for robust competition laws that can keep up with the rapidly evolving technological market.

In our first blog post, Tanvi Agarwal, a 2nd year student at the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences talks about the unfair business practices employed by food delivery platforms Zomato, and Swiggy in light of the assesment made by the Competition Comission of India.
The article analyses the merit of the charges levied against these platforms and points out the loopholes in the assesment that might lead to these platforms go unpunished. It further talks about the price parity provisions in contracts made by these platforms and calls for the inclusion of the concept of "joint or collective market power" instead of the current "dominant power" approach under Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002.

The 1st NLIU-CRCLP Seminar on Competition Laws concluded with the valedictory ceremony on 24 April 2022, in the presence of Dr. Yogendra Srivastava (Dean Outreach Programs, HNLU Raipur), Dr. Ankit Singh (Assistant Professor, HNLU) and Mr. MAHENDRA SONI (Assistant Professor, NLIU) and all participants and members of the Center for Research in Competition Laws, NLIU.

Convener of the Conference, Mr. Mahendra Soni expressed his appreciation for all the participants, acknowledging their efforts into presenting such insightful papers and for becoming a part of the seminar at Bhopal. He also shared tips with the participants, including need to select topics as narrow as possible, highlighting how wide topics make it difficult for the presenters to throw light on all aspects of the research, leaving little scope to contribute something novel towards the topic.

Next, Dr. Yogendra Srivastava addressed the conference, also expressing his appreciation towards the organising committee, recognising the fast pace of growth of the recently established Centre for Research in Competition Laws under the guidance of Mr. Mahendra Soni. Sir also took the opportunity to reminisce his time as a professor at NLIU, expressing his delight to revisit as a part of such events now.

This was followed by the much awaited declaration of winners of the paper presentation competition.

The best student presenters award was won by Ms. Yaatri Shah and Ms. Ami Thakker from the Institute of Law, Nirma University, Ahmedabad and the best presenter award was won by Ms. Garima Gupta, Doctoral fellow, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad.

Finally, Mr. Devansh Malhotra, Student Convenor of the Centre on behalf of the Organising committee, expressed his gratitude towards the Competition Commission Of India for nominating Mr. SUKESH MISHRA to attend and grace the event with his august presence.He also thanked all the dignitaries and resource persons for blessing the hosts with their esteemed presence for such an event and the participants of the seminar, with the hope to host them again, on a much bigger scale and thanked the team at Centre for Research in Competition Law & Policy without whose efforts this could not have been a great success.
