NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has set aside a previous order that barred Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus from selling handsets based on the Cyanogen operating system in India, effectively allowing the company to resume imports and sales.In a reprieve to the company, judges on Wednesday said the case "shall be heard and decided afresh". The case will come up for hearing on January 7 under a single judge. "We dispose off the appeal, setting aside the impugned order dated December 16, 2014," Justices Pradeep Nandrajog and RK Gauba said in their order on OnePlus's petition, a copy of which was seen by ET.The court also directed OnePlus and US-based Cyanogen to file written statements and documents on the matter within two weeks. Vikas Agarwal, head of One Plus' India operations, confirmed the development and said the company has been allowed to import OnePlus One for the local market. OnePlus was temporarily banned from marketing, selling and importing its smartphones in India on December 16 on a plea by Indian handset maker Micromax Informatics, which sought an injunction against the Chinese firm on the grounds that it had infringed upon the exclusive rights that home-bred handset maker had acquired under a "ambient services and application distributions agreement" with Cyanogen.The December 16 order, however, allowed OnePlus to sell its existing stock in India through its online partner Amazon.in. During proceedings following its plea on Tuesday, Shenzhen OnePlus Technology Co had told the two-judge bench that its smartphones features CM11S version of Cyanogen, which was different from the one to which Micromax had exclusive rights.It had also sought three months to clear its stock and come up with a new software to replace Cyanogen. In a detailed order on Wednesday, the judges reasoned that the case did not merit an interim injunction since devices of both companies addressed different consumer segments."The consumer of one product is a midsegment consumer and the consumer of the other product is a high-end consumer, and thus, prima-facie, neither competes nor eats into the territory of the other," it said. OnePlus One is sold in India for Rs 21,999, while Micromax recently launched Cyanogen-based Yureka smartphone for Rs 8,999.They added that a "proper debate" was required before the single judge on the software features available to OnePlus and Micromax under Cyanogen. Further, proper pleadings were also required to throw light on agreement between Cyanogen and Micromax to ascertain different parties' understanding of it.
