The Karnataka High Court has extended its interim stay on the Competition Commission of India (CCI) proceedings against Swiggy, a major food delivery platform. Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum highlighted concerns regarding the use of third-party statements without cross-examination, referencing the Supreme Court's ruling in CCI vs. Schott Glass India. The court noted that such untested evidence typically cannot be relied upon against a party. Swiggy's petition argues that the CCI's refusal to allow cross-examination compromises procedural safeguards. The CCI contends that the statements are part of a cumulative assessment and not solely relied upon, deeming cross-examination unnecessary. This ongoing dispute is part of a larger investigation into antitrust issues affecting food delivery platforms, focusing on market dominance and data practices. The next hearing is set for April 25, 2024, with the interim order first granted on March 17, 2024, having been extended on multiple occasions.
