Global tech giants Meta Platforms Inc. and WhatsApp told the Supreme Court on Monday that they will comply with the NCLAT's directions for extending the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) privacy and consent guidelines to advertising-related data. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi was hearing appeals filed by the tech giants against the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's (NCLAT) directions of December last year.

Dismissing an appeal against a CCI order, in which the regulator had closed a complaint against Swiss pharma major Vifor International (AG), a two-member NCLAT bench said the 'Patent Act will prevail over the Competition Act'.
