Provisions Related to Abuse of Dominance in Competition Act 2002


Provisions Related to Abuse of Dominance in Competition Act 2002
The Competition Act, 2002 as amended by the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2007, (the Act) follows the philosophy of modern competition laws and aims at fostering competition and at protecting Indian markets against anti-competitive practices by enterprises. The Act prohibits anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position by enterprises, and regulates entering into combinations (consisting of mergers, amalgamations and acquisitions) with a view to ensure that there is no adverse effect on competition in India. This competition advocacy and awareness booklet addresses the applicability of Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 relating to abuse of dominant position (dominance) by enterprises. Competition laws all over the world are primarily concerned with the acquisition and/or exercise of market power and its abuse. The term “market power” is variously known as “dominant position”, “monopoly power” and “substantial market power”.

Competition is now universally acknowledged as the best means of ensuring that consumers have access to the broadest range of services at the most competitive prices. Producers will have maximum incentive to innovate, reduce their costs and meet consumer demand. Competition thus promotes allocative and productive efficiency. But all this requires healthy market conditions and governments across the globe are increasingly trying to remove market imperfections through appropriate regulations to promote competition.

Writ Petitions under Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution of India

The Writ Jurisdiction of Supreme Court can be invoked under Article 32 of the Constitution for the violation of fundamental rights guaranteed under Part – III of the Constitution. Any provision in any Constitution for Fundamental Rights is meaningless unless there are adequate safeguards to ensure enforcement of such provisions. Since the reality of such rights is tested only through the judiciary, the safeguards assume even more importance. In addition, enforcement also depends upon the degree of independence of the Judiciary and the availability of relevant instruments with the executive authority. Indian Constitution, like most of Western Constitutions, lays down certain provisions to ensure the enforcement of Fundamental Rights. These are as under:
