PAWAN HANS vs UNION OF INDIA

The appellant, M/s. Pawan Hans Ltd., challenged an order of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTP Commission) rejecting a complaint filed under Section 10 of the MRTP Act. The dispute arose from a failed negotiation for the sale of residential flats between the appellant and the respondent construction company. The Supreme Court examined whether the refusal to initiate inquiry proceedings under Section 10(a)(i) was legally sustainable.
