New Delhi, Mar 1 (UNI) The apex body of the Internet and Mobile companies on Friday asked social media giant Google not to delist Indian companies’ Apps from the Play Store pending the case for hearing in the Supreme Court.

In statement issued today, the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) advised Google not to delist any apps from Google Play. The association was responding to media reports which indicated that Google might go to the extent of removing 10 Indian companies' Apps from the Play Store for “non-compliance” with Google Play policy.

IAMAI is able to confirm that at least four of its members have received notices from Google. The affected members of IAMAI are of the view that a substantive hearing of the case is pending before the Supreme Court of India, and Google should not take any coercive action during the pendency of the case.

The IAMAI represents 580 members, including Indian and multinational corporations, as well as start-ups, IAMAI has been instrumental in shaping India’s digital economy.

The association advocates free and fair competition, and progressive and enabling laws for businesses as well as for consumers.
