Madras HC rejects Google's plea in Play Store fee dispute

Business

The Madras High Court just gave the green light to Testbook's legal fight against Google. Testbook, which runs hundreds of learning apps, says Google forced high Play Store fees (15-30%) on them under terms they argue are coercive and legally unenforceable.

Why this case matters

This case is a big deal for anyone who uses or builds apps in India. It's about whether tech giants can set their own rules—or if smaller companies get a fair say. The court also made it clear: disputes like this belong in civil courts, not just competition watchdogs. If you care about how your favorite apps work (and what they cost), it's worth keeping an eye on this one.
