The appellant argued it was wrongly included in the cartel without proper consideration by the Commission. The NCLAT held that strict evidence rules don't apply in competition proceedings. The appellant received cartel emails for five years without protest or requesting cessation, indicating meeting of minds. Evidence showed all parties had access to a shared email account. The tribunal found that mere information exchange suffices for bid rigging cases, and continuous receipt of emails without objection demonstrated participation in anti-competitive conduct. en-us Tue, 02 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 04 Apr 2024 09:35:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=750995 The NCLAT dismissed an appeal challenging cartelisation findings under Competition Act Sections 3(3)(a), 3(3)(c), and 3(3)(d) read with Section 3(1).
