The petitioner argued HC lacked territorial jurisdiction as the investigation concerned discriminatory treatment of MSOs in Kerala, not Maharashtra. The court held that HC can exercise Article 226 powers when cause of action arises wholly or partly within its jurisdiction. Since the relevant geographical market was Kerala and all alleged anti-competitive agreements related to Kerala operations, with no allegations concerning Maharashtra parties, the investigation's effects would be limited to Kerala. The petition was disposed of without relief. en-us Fri, 16 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 06 Sep 2024 17:03:36 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457127 The Bombay HC dismissed a petition challenging CCI's investigation into alleged abuse of dominant position under Section 19(1)(a) of Competition Act 2002.
