Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a complaint filed under Section 10 and Section 36B of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969, alleging unfair trade practices by the appellants. The Court held that the Commission's interim order to provide signals to the complainants was made without sufficient opportunity for the appellants to present their case, violating principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Court set aside the interim order, emphasizing the need for the Commission to consider all relevant legal and factual issues before making such decisions.
