ABSTRACT
Competition Law is
relatively of nascent origin in India. There have been some cases of conflict
of jurisdiction between sector specific regulators and CCI, particularly, in
relation to enforcement of intellectual property rights, which has attracted
judicial intervention by writ courts. The higher judiciary in India has played
a significant role in resolving this conflict and the issue of conflict of
jurisdiction or “forum shopping” is likely to continue to arise in India.
However, some recent judgements of the Supreme Courts seem to have been
resolved the issue to large extent in India. The article outlines the role of
higher judiciary in resolving this source of conflict during the enforcement of
the competition law in the last nine years and how it has helped in developing
a robust jurisprudence on competition law in India.
