The Court determined that the legislative intent of Section 15 is to prevent the invalidation of the CCI's proceedings due to vacancies or defects in its composition. Additionally, the Court found that the doctrine of necessity was not applicable, as the CCI is functional and capable of adjudicating without disqualified members. The Court directed the CCI to hear the applications under Section 42 of the Act by 26.04.2023, disposing of the petition with the observation that the CCI remains validly constituted and operational. The Court's observations were limited to the current case and did not impact future proceedings or the rights of the parties involved. en-us Mon, 24 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 10:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=437161 The Court concluded that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) is validly constituted with two members and can continue its adjudicatory functions under Section 15 of the Competition Act, 2002.
