Antitrust probe into e-commerce firms stalled after Amazon challenge
CCI last month ordered a probe into Amazon and rival Walmart's Flipkart over alleged violations of competition law and certain discounting practices
by ReutersA Bengaluru court on Friday put on hold an antitrust investigation into leading e-commerce companies following a challenge by Amazon.com Inc, two lawyers involved in the proceedings told Reuters on Friday.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) last month ordered a probe into Amazon and rival Walmart's Flipkart over alleged violations of competition law and certain discounting practices.
Amazon this week challenged the investigation in a court in Bengaluru city.
The court on Friday granted a stay on the investigation for two months, according to a lawyer from Indian law firm P&A Law Offices, which is representing Amazon.
