https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460176 NCLAT upheld CCI's decision dismissing allegations of collusive bid rigging without ordering investigation. The tribunal ruled that CCI correctly determined no prima facie case existed under Section 26(1) of Competition Act, 2002. The appellant-informant, who was neither an OEM nor SI and not involved in the tender process, failed to provide substantial evidence supporting bid rigging allegations against respondents. NCLAT found the informant's claims were wild allegations without substance or incriminating evidence. The tribunal emphasized that investigation by Director General is contingent upon establishing prima facie case, which was absent. CCI's order was deemed legally sound and based on proper application of mind. Appeal dismissed. en-us Tue, 26 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 14 Jan 2025 19:59:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460176 NCLAT upheld CCI's decision dismissing allegations of collusive bid rigging without ordering investigation.
