TATA ENGINEERING & LOCOMOTIVE CO. LTD., BOMBAY vs THE REGISTRAR OF THE RESTRICTIVE TRADEAGREEMENT, NEW DELHI

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 2(o) and Section 33 of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969, establishing that agreements imposing territorial restrictions and resale price maintenance constitute restrictive trade practices. The Court held that clauses in the appellant's dealership agreement that allocate territories and restrict sales outside designated areas are void under the Act. The Commission's finding that the appellant engaged in such practices was upheld, reinforcing the need for compliance with the Act's provisions.
