https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=767520 The NCLAT dismissed an appeal alleging abuse of dominant position under Sections 3(4) and 4 of the Competition Act, 2002. The appellant failed to disclose that its retailer tier status had been restored on 23.06.2021 before filing the information on 01.07.2021, constituting lack of clean hands. The appellant's prayer for reinstatement was based on false information since the status was already restored. The court noted consistent reduction in appellant's offtake from October 2020 to March 2021, indicating the tier change was due to reduced performance rather than punishment for dealing with another party. The appeal was dismissed for lack of merit. en-us Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 08:21:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=767520 The NCLAT dismissed an appeal alleging abuse of dominant position under Sections 3(4) and 4 of the Competition Act, 2002.
