The Competition Commission of India ordered the investigation in 2020 against the companies for allegedly promoting select sellers on their e-commerce platforms and using business practices that stifle competition.

The three-judge Supreme Court bench said companies like Amazon and Flipkart should volunteer for such investigations.
