WASHINGTON: The selection of U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, nominated to the court by President Barack Obama, to hear the U.S. Justice Department's case against Alphabet's Google, suggests a tough courtroom battle ahead for the US$1-trillion search and advertising company.

Google had no comment on Mehta's selection. The search and advertising company has called the lawsuit"deeply flawed," adding that people"use Google because they choose to - not because they're forced to or because they can't find alternatives." Andre Barlow of the law firm Doyle, Barlow & Mazard PLLC, agreed that Mehta's selection was"good news for the government" but warned that the case against Google is a monopolization case, which tend to be harder to win than merger cases.
