About the plea
As per various reports, the privacy policy of WhatsApp and Facebook has been under the radar for a long time because its breaches the competition norms and user privacy policy. While noting that the plea by Facebook has already been dismissed by the division bench, Justice Yashwant Varma said in the court that there has to be some end to the “luxury to litigate.” “With all due respect, you suddenly wake up now and challenge the order. Enough is enough. There has to be some end to luxury to litigate,” Justice Varma said.“There has to be a prima facie case which directs the Director General to cause any investigation.”I am aggrieved by the clubbing order. The allegations made are exactly the same. I am a subsidiary but not involved in any policy-making,” senior advocate Parag Tripathi, representing Facebook India, said. There have many arguments raised by WhatsApp, one of them being that their privacy policy has been suspended until the new data protection bill is introduced, therefore, no one can investigate their privacy policy. The data protection bill that was in India for a long time has been put away by the government and they are planning to introduce a new data protection bill. Facebook also raised arguments stating that there was not enough prima facie material for the investigation to go on. CCI said that the investigation will go on as the new privacy has not been taken back by the apps.
