The judge, Justice Prathiba M. Singh, directed the registry of the High Court to list them before another Bench on April 12, subject to the orders of the Chief Justice.

A Delhi High Court judge on Thursday recused herself from hearing the separate petitions filed by Facebook and WhatsApp, challenging a Competition Commission of India (CCI) order for an investigation into the latter’s new privacy policy.

The judge, Justice Prathiba M. Singh, directed the registry of the High Court to list them before another Bench on April 12, subject to the orders of the Chief Justice.

On March 24, the commission ordered a probe into WhatsApp’s new privacy policy. The CCI had ordered that the investigation be completed within 60 days.

Both Facebook and WhatsApp, in their separate pleas, have contended that since the issue of WhatsApp’s privacy policy was before the Supreme Court, the CCI did not need to order the probe.
