Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the jurisdiction of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) under Section 3 of the Competition Act, 2002, in relation to the telecasting of the dubbed serial 'Mahabharat'. The Court held that the actions of the Coordination Committee and EIMPA, which sought to prevent the telecast of the dubbed serial, constituted anti-competitive practices under the Act. Consequently, the Court ruled in favor of the CCI, affirming its authority to address such anti-competitive behavior.
