Court ruled CCI acted without jurisdiction by mechanically ordering investigation without fulfilling mandatory precondition of prima facie violation. HC held writ petition maintainable against such jurisdictionally defective orders despite Section 53A not listing investigation orders as appealable. Information received did not disclose prima facie case warranting investigation, making CCI's order null and void. en-us Fri, 30 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Apr 2025 14:41:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=768755 HC quashed CCI's investigation order under Section 26(1) of Competition Act, 2002, holding that CCI must establish prima facie case of anti-competitive practices under Sections 3 and/or 4 before directing investigation.
