The Delhi High Court on Monday sought responses from the Centre and the Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Apple Inc’s plea challenging recent amendments to the Competition Act that allow penalties to be based on a company’s global turnover.

- BHAVINI MISHRA

The amendment, which took effect on March 6, 2024, empowers the CCI to impose fines of up to 10 percent of the average turnover for the previous three financial years. These would be imposed on entities found guilty of anti-competitive conduct or abuse of dominance.

Appearing before a Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Apple, argued that the provision is unconstitutional and disproportionate.
