HC dismissed writ petitions challenging CCI's jurisdiction over anti-competitive conduct allegations in telecom sector. Court held both Competition Act and TRAI Act are special legislation in respective fields with potential overlapping jurisdiction. CCI has exclusive authority to investigate misuse of dominant position under Section 4 of Competition Act, while TRAI handles license condition violations and regulatory compliance. When allegations involve dominant position abuse in relevant market, CCI maintains jurisdiction regardless of concurrent TRAI regulatory issues. Court ruled CCI competent to determine its own jurisdiction and declined to interfere with Section 26 proceedings at preliminary stage. Both sectoral regulators operate in distinct fields without jurisdictional conflict, with CCI serving as specialized regulator for anti-competitive practices investigation.
