Dispute concerns whether increased coal handling coordination and liaisoning charges imposed via three third-party entities constituted abuse of dominance by the port operator. The analysis treats the relevant product and geographic market as limited to the port operator alone, finding it dominant.

Consequently the impugned CCI order is set aside and the matter remanded to the CCI for fresh adjudication with opportunity to be heard.
