Delhi High Court rejects plea by Whatsapp regarding new privacy policy, upholds probe order by CCI

Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by social media giants WhatsApp and it’s parent company Meta (earlier Facebook), challenging the order of the Competition Commission of India (CCI), regarding the new privacy policy of the messaging app. 
The Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad observed that the appeals were devoid of merits and disposed of the plea, which challenged the Single-Judge Bench order of April, 2021.
Justice Navin Chawla had last year quashed the petition filed by the social giants, while observing that it was devoid of merits.
Tech giant Meta had, in July 2022, termed the actions of CCI as intrusion in its business and said that there was no  proof to substantiate the claim that it was abusing the market dominance.

The CCI had ordered investigation into the new privacy policy of Whatsapp, stating that it violated the Competition Act, 2000.
