Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Ors.Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Mad) 10The Madras High Court has recently held that under the writ jurisdiction there should be no interference with a preliminary enquiry ordered by the Competition Commission of India under Section 26(1) of the Competition Act.The Court clarified that an order for investigation passed under S.26(1) is a preliminary order and does not attract any civil consequences and does not determine the issue raised against the parties finally and any interference by the court at that stage would only allow the parties to escape the investigation itself that would defeat the object sought to be achieved by the Act and thus, the court held that the learned single judge was right in not interfering with the order of CCI and in dismissing the petition.SpiceJet Vs Credit Suisse AG- Madras High Court Dismisses Appeal Against Airline's Admission Of Winding UpCase Title: SpiceJet Limited v.
