NCLAT sets aside CCI order on DLF, remanded back directing to examine

The NCLAT has set aside an order passed by fair trade regulator Competition Commission of India (CCI) with respect to DLF and directed it to examine the matter. The case pertains to CCI rejecting a complaint against DLF and its subsidiary for alleged abuse of the dominant position on the basis of a second/supplementary report from DG. The appellate tribunal said CCI was "not authorised to pass an order for further investigation" if once its probe unit - the DG (Director General) has already "noticed the violation" in its first report and "the same cannot be justified". Based on the second/supplementary DG report, CCI passed the order concluding that the contravention of the provisions" of the Competition Act was not established against DLF and its wholly-owned subsidiary DLF Home Developers.

NCLAT sets aside pleas against CCI's Rs 873-cr penalty on UBL, beer makers

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Friday upheld the Rs 873-crore penalty imposed by fair trade regulator CCI on UBL and other beer makers. A two-member bench said after examining the materials and considering the arguments, it was of opinion that the "appellants had already admitted in the leniency application regarding their involvement in the cartelisation". Referring to the batch of petitions moved by the beer makers before the CCI seeking reduction in penalty, the NCLAT said: "Lesser penalty application is like an admission of guilt in a cartel." "Once they have admitted their involvement in an application filed under Section 46 read with Regulation 5, they were only entitled to question the imposition of penalty," said the two-member bench comprising Justices Rakesh Kumar and Ashok Kumar Mishra. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on September 24, 2021, imposed penalties totalling over Rs 873 crore on UBL, Carlsberg India, All India Brewers' Associat

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) said the NCLT "did not commit any error" as sales were not completed and the object was to obtain the maximisation of the assets, hence it "sees no reason to take a different view".
