Google on Thursday said it had moved the Delhi High Court against the Competition Commission of India (CCI) over the leak of a confidential CCI investigation report that found the US tech giant had abused its market dominance to hurt competition.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The Times of India and Reuters news agency had reported last week that&nbsp; a CCI investigation had found that Google had abused the dominant position of its Android operating system in India, using its &quot;huge financial muscle&quot; to hurt competitors which was in violation of the law.</p>
<p>
Google said in a statement that it had moved the Delhi High Court against CCI&nbsp; &quot;to prevent any further unlawful disclosures of confidential findings.&quot;</p>
<p>
The US tech giant said it was &quot;protesting against the breach of confidence which impairs Google&#39;s ability to defend itself and harms Google and its partners.&quot;</p>
<p>
&quot;We cooperated fully and maintained confidentiality throughout the investigative process, and we hope and expect the same level of confidentiality from the institutions we engage with,&quot; the statement added.</p>
<p>
The CCI had in 2019 ordered an investigation into the operations of Google as the tech giant appeared to have forced device manufacturers to pre-install Google apps which reduced their freedom to opt for alternative versions.</p>
<p>
In its 750-page investigation report, CCI subsequently found the mandatory pre-installation of apps &quot;amounts to imposition of unfair condition on the device manufacturers&quot; in violation of India&#39;s competition law. The report also found the company leveraged the position of its Play Store app store to protect its dominance, according to a Reuters report.</p>
