Indian court removes ban, allows OnePlus One to be sold in India for now

Carl Pei, the founder of OnePlus, said in court that he didn't find out about the deal between Micromax and Cyanogen until just a few days before his own phone was launched in India. Pei noted that his company is working on an Android skin that will replace Cyanogen on the OnePlus One handsets.
The Indian court requested written statements from both OnePlus and Cyanogen to be received within two weeks, and will hear the case again on January 7th. The judges decided to reverse the ban of the OnePlus One in India for now, since the phone competes in a different segment of the market than the Micromax Yu. Copying from the "destructive sales" strategy employed by Xiaomi, the Yu is priced online for the equivalent of $142 USD. The OnePlus One retails in India for the equivalent of $347 USD.
