Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and special leave petition challenging the Government's order under Section 22 of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969. The Court emphasized the necessity for the Government to provide well-reasoned orders when disposing of applications under Sections 21, 22, and 23, as failure to do so could violate principles of natural justice. The Court referred to previous judgments to underline the importance of transparency and fairness in administrative decisions.
