CCI order on Great Eastern Energy challenged in COMPAT

A petitioner has moved the Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT) against the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) order of not finding any irregularity by the Kolkata-based Great Eastern Energy Corporation Limited (GEECL) in supplying Coalbed Methane gas.
 
The complaint in CCI was filed by an employee of SRMB Srijan, a gas producer.
 
CCI investigated the matter and rejected the petition.
 
The petitioner then moved COMPAT. A source told Business Standard, “ The appeal was filed on the grounds that the commission did not investigate the matter properly. Procedures were not followed. Hence, natural justice has been denied.”
