* Bid-rigging 1.19 Eliminating or reducing competition for Bids
Case laws :
In re: Aluminum Phosphide Tablets Manufacturers, (Suo Moto Case No 02 of 2011) 1.18-1.19 It was noted that the identical bid price is not possible unless there is some sort
of prior and collective understanding. Further the common entry in the premises
of FCI before submission of bids is also valid evidence of the existence of an
understanding among the parties.
Commission prima-facie noted that Quantity quoted was less than 50% of Total
tender quantity, Quoted rate was 10% higher, the rate was inclusive of freight
B. P. Khare, Principal Chief Engineer, South Eastern Railway vs. M/s Orissa and Bidders were located across the country & the cost of freight for
Concrete supplying the product from different parts of the country could not have been
the same hence identical rates, indicative of meeting of minds, Further bid docs
revealed that so many were in similiar handwriting
Allied Industries Ltd. and Ors.,Alleged cartelization in the matter of supply of Suo Moto alleged cartelization in the matter of supply of spares

Mr. Mohit Manglani and M/s Flipkart India Private Limited and 4 Ors 1.21 E-Commerce Platforms are not anti-competitive since they provide an
opportunity for consumers to compare the prices as well as the pros and cons
of the product hence no appreciable adverse effect on competition in the
market.
1.21 Exclusive Distribution and Refusal to deal
It was held that the Indian car spare-parts market forms a separate market
from that of cars -> Major auto manufactures were not allowing its spare parts
Shamsher Kataria and Honda Siel Cars and 13 Ors. and diagnostic tools to be sold in the open car market and forcing the
consumers to buy it from their authorized dealers at high prices resulting in
appreciable adverse effect on competition . (Note :- It is pending in SC).
