Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Commission's order under Section 55 of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969, which found the appellant engaged in restrictive trade practices detrimental to public interest. The Court affirmed the Commission's directives for the appellant to cease such practices, amend the dealership agreement, and ensure supply to the complainant as per previous levels. The ruling clarified the interpretation of restrictive trade practices under Sections 2(o) and 33 of the Act, emphasizing the need for fair trade practices in dealer agreements.
