NEW DELHI : Google accused India's antitrust regulator in court on Friday of being a"habitual offender" by leaking confidential information of cases it was examining, an accusation the watchdog rejected.

In an unusual move on Thursday, Google sued the CCI in the Delhi High Court, saying in a statement it was"protesting against the breach of confidence" and"to prevent any further unlawful disclosures of confidential findings". "An accusation is made against a government body. Not a word in this whole affidavit showing how we have done it and where is the proof," said Venkataraman, asking for Google's filing to be dismissed."How are we responsible for whatever has been said in this court?"

Google declined to comment after the hearing, while the CCI did not immediate respond to a request for comment.
