Publicis Groupe Warns Delhi HC: Delay in CCI Case Could Render Petition Infructuous
- •Publicis Groupe's Indian arm, TLG India, told the Delhi High Court that delaying judicial intervention in its case against CCI could make its petition infructuous.
- •Senior counsel Ritin Rai highlighted the urgency, citing a search and seizure operation at TLG India's offices and denial of access to key records.
- •Publicis argues CCI's investigation is procedurally flawed, repeatedly citing "Publicis Groupe" (a brand) instead of the correct legal entity, TLG India Pvt. Ltd.
- •The company contends that "Publicis Groupe" is not an "enterprise" under the Competition Act, 2002, and cannot be directly investigated.
- •The Delhi HC observed that the investigation would continue, but Publicis's rights would be protected, listing the next hearing for February 17, 2026.
Why It Matters: Publicis Groupe warns Delhi HC that delays in its CCI case could invalidate its petition, citing procedural flaws.
