The tribunal held that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) erred by investigating individual liability under Section 48 before determining that the association itself contravened competition law provisions. The CCI violated natural justice principles by not providing adequate notice before imposing penalties. Additionally, the tribunal ruled that the CCI's direction barring appellants from association affairs for two years exceeded its powers under Section 27(g), as it interfered with rights governed by the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955. The penalty and administrative restrictions were set aside. en-us Tue, 10 May 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 23:47:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459848 The Competition Appellate Tribunal allowed the appeal, setting aside penalties imposed on association office-bearers.
