https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459710 The Delhi HC dismissed a petition challenging CCI's rejection of the DG's report finding contraventions under Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002. The court held that CCI is not bound by the DG's recommendations and can reject findings of contraventions after examining the report and hearing parties. CCI properly considered that the disputed contract was negotiated between parties, with some allegedly unfair clauses not objected to during negotiations. The DG's subjective opinions on contract clauses exceeded the scope of investigation under Section 26(3). The court found no violation of natural justice principles and deemed the petition an abuse of process, noting the petitioner lacked authority to represent the affected party. en-us Thu, 10 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 24 Dec 2024 20:36:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459710 The Delhi HC dismissed a petition challenging CCI's rejection of the DG's report finding contraventions under Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002.
