Google challenged India's antitrust authorities to punish it for being partial to Amazon

CTOnews.com, July 9 (Xinhua)-- Google believes that Indian antitrust authorities favor Amazon in its Android investigation and filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of India to challenge penalties for its abuse of Android market positioning, Reuters reported.

The Indian Competition Commission (CCI) recently asked Google to change its business model, claiming that it had blocked Amazon from developing Fire OS.

CCI listened to Amazon and fined Google without reviewing the facts, Google said in a lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court of India. CTOnews.com translated as follows:

Fire OS failed in the global market because of a poor user experience, and not even Fire Phone was launched in the Indian market.

CCI blames Google's agreement for Amazon Fire OS's failure, which is clearly inappropriate.

CCI concluded earlier that Google's restrictions "reduce the ability and motivation of device manufacturers to develop and sell Android personnel", which is not in the interests of consumers.

Amazon believes that the company needs a lot of resources and man-hours to create Fire OS, while Google restricts its growth; Google believes that it has not abused its market position and should not pay a fine.
