Third-party objections are relevant only where the Commission forms a prima facie adverse view. Allegations of undisclosed relevant markets or abuse of dominant position cannot be examined at the approval stage because they belong to a separate Section 4 inquiry. The communication was not an appealable order under Section 53A, so the appeal was not maintainable. en-us Tue, 02 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 20:02:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311186 Under the Competition Act, review of a combination under Section 6(2) is confined to a prima facie assessment of whether it is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition; if no such concern emerges, approval under Section 31 follows and the Section 29 process is unnecessary.
