Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the Competition Commission's findings under Sections 3 and 4 of the Competition Act, 2002, regarding the termination of a channel placement agreement by Multi System Operators (MSOs). The Court upheld the Commission's conclusion that the MSOs held a dominant position in the market, constituting an abuse of that position by denying transmission to the broadcaster without justification. The Court affirmed the Commission's order, emphasizing the need for fair competition and access to the market for all broadcasters.
