NCLAT gives relief to Meta, stays CCI order of five-year ban on WhatsApp data sharing

The state commission, presided over by President Sushil Kumar and Member Sudha Upadhyay, stated that "WhatsApp is a service provider company" and its provision of services within India means it "cannot be said that this company is a foreign company and the consumer complaint against it is not maintainable."

The CCI had in November 2024 imposed a penalty of ₹213 crore on Meta for WhatsApp’s 2021 Privacy Policy.
