The court said the appeals were “unfounded,” according to the report.

The court that ordered the dismissal of Facebook owners WhatsApp and Meta’s guilty pleas reportedly consisted of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad.

According to a report in June last year, WhatsApp and Facebook had applied to the High Court in Delhi for the CCI’s investigation to suspend the instant messaging platform’s 2021 privacy policy statement.
Recently, CCI allegedly told the Delhi High Court that the investigation must continue because WhatsApp has not withdrawn its 2021 privacy policy.
