People eagerly turn to Google for answers to all their questions. But if there’s something that the American multinational technology company, Google LLC, is eagerly waiting to know, it is the result of a batch of 13 civil appeals pending against it and its subsidiaries before the Madras High Court.
The cases before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice S.V. Gangapurwala and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu relate to the service fee levied on business establishments which use Google Play to feature their Android applications that offer digital goods/services to customers.
While a battery of senior counsel, including P. Chidambaram, Sriram Panchu, Satish Parasaran and Srinath Sridevan, are representing the litigants against Google, the latter and its parent company, Alphabet Inc, are being defended by senior counsel P.S. Raman and Sajan Poovayya.
