Facts of the Case
Background
The Competition Tariff Commission prohibited a merger between respondents involving Ashram's acquisition of 49% shareholding in Profeeds and Produtrade, finding it contrary to public interest and likely to create monopoly in stock feeds industry. The Administrative Court overturned this decision and reduced the penalty. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the prohibition and penalty.
