NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued a notice to the Competition Commission of India (CCI) and online food delivery company Swiggy, following a petition from the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) challenging its exclusion from a confidentiality ring set up by the CCI. This ring was created to allow scrutiny of alleged anti-competitive practices involving Swiggy and Zomato while protecting sensitive commercial information. “The DG report has been filed and without access to the confidential documents, we can’t effectively raise our objections,” Roy stated. However, Swiggy and CCI countered NRAI’s plea, maintaining that it conflicts with confidentiality regulations. Earlier Swiggy had filed a petition with the Karnataka High Court, objecting to CCI’s directive that required Swiggy to provide NRAI representatives with access to confidential information.
