BRAHM DUTT vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined the validity of Rule 3 of the Competition Commission of India (Selection of Chairperson and Other Members of the Commission) Rules, 2003, under the Competition Act, 2002. The Court held that the Rule is constitutionally valid as it provides a structured process for the appointment of the Chairperson and members of the Commission, ensuring that qualified individuals are selected based on their expertise and experience. The petition challenging the Rule was dismissed, affirming the Central Government's authority to make such rules under Section 63(2)(a) of the Act.
