SAMIR AGRAWAL vs COMPETITION COMMISSION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the Competition Commission of India's inquiry into alleged anti-competitive practices by Ola and Uber under the Competition Act, 2002. The Court examined sections 3(1), 3(3)(a), and 3(4)(e) of the Act, determining that the pricing algorithms used by these companies could potentially facilitate price-fixing among drivers, thereby constituting a violation of competition law. The Court upheld the CCI's decision to investigate the matter further, emphasizing the need to assess whether the algorithms indeed led to anti-competitive conduct.
