The Delhi High Court on Friday extended the time granted to Facebook and WhatsApp by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for filing replies to a notice issued to them in connection with its ongoing probe into the messaging application’s privacy policy. The matter was adjourned as CCI made a request for it due to unavailability of Additional Solicitor General Aman Lekhi. Senior Advocate Harish Salve, representing WhatsApp, told the court that CCI was insisting on filing a reply by August 5. The company also said it will not compel users in India to accept the policy. The companies approached the division bench in appeal against the single-bench decision and the CCI order.
