CJI asked ASG Venkataraman (representing CCI), to send it back to NCLAT. CJI DY Chandrachud also highlighted that “We will say matter will be listed in NCLAT on Monday. There will be no adjournment and protection from coercive action for two weeks. We will merely set aside this order and ask NCLAT to look into it on Monday. We won’t even pass an interim order.” While hearing this, representatives of both parties, ASG Venkataraman (CCI) and Dr. AM Singhvi (Google) wished the matter to be heard by the Supreme Court only.
