The battle between Cyanogen, OnePlus and Micromax has opened a new chapter today, just a week after it seemed the book had been closed. The same Delhi high court that ruled the OnePlus One should be banned in India has now reversed its decision, at least temporarily.
The problems started when the OnePlus One launched in the country earlier this month. Running the CyanogenMod software, the One infringed on an agreement between India’s biggest smartphone company Micromax and Cyanogen, giving the phone maker exclusive rights to the software in the country. The court sided with Micromax and banned the OnePlus One.
Now that same court has allowed the One to be put back on sale until the decision of an appeal is made.
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 of 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.
