The High Court of Karnataka has imposed a cost of ₹10 lakh on Intel Technology India Pvt. Ltd. and Intel Corporation, U.S., for hastily rushing to the court against a decision of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to investigate their ‘India-specific warranty policy’ for boxed microprocessors.
“The petitioners hastily rushed to this court and unjustifiably secured an interim order that interdicted an inquiry of preliminary nature, for all these years, to the enormous prejudice of public interest,” the court said.
