Parliamentary Panel Urges CCI to Enforce Penalties and Limit Suo Motu Cases
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) informed a Parliamentary panel that it avoids initiating suo motu cases unless no party comes forward, citing a conflict of interest in investigating and adjudicating the same case. The Rajya Sabha's Committee on Subordinate Legislation, chaired by Milind Murli Deora, recommended that CCI enforce penalty guidelines more vigorously to deter repeated competition law violations, which risk being treated as a routine business cost. The panel emphasized protecting smaller businesses and ensuring fair competition across sectors.
