Google has reportedly appealed a decision by the Competition Commission of India to launch an investigation into the company’s decision to terminate a company’s AdWords account.
According to reports, Google filed an appeal to the Delhi High Court questioning the CCI’s jurisdiction over the matter. Audney.com had filed a complaint with the CCI after Google terminated its account for advertising program AdWords. Google argues that the CCI cannot get involved as the dispute only pertains to the US-based incorporated company Audney, Inc., and to advertisements shown only on Google.com and Google.ca.
The CCI had also fined Google in the dispute, but reports say Google has not appealed that decision. But media accounts clarify that the company did, in fact, appeal a separate fine issued to the tech conglomerate for abusing its market power in the online search and advertising industry following several complaints issued in 2009 and 2012.
