Top court rejects CCI's case transfer request

NEW DELHI:

A single bench of the Karnataka HC is currently hearing a dozen petitions by various e-retailers challenging the commission's August 28 order. CCI, in its appeal, sought to transfer the cases pending before the high courts of Allahabad, Madras, Telangana, Punjab & Haryana, Delhi and Karnataka, either to the Supreme Court, or alternatively, to the Delhi High Court where the matter is pending before a two-judge bench.

A bench headed by Justice Abhay S. Oka said, "Just because in one high court, it is being heard by a single judge bench and in other high courts, it is a division bench (of two judges), you want us to transfer. It will be accepting a very dangerous precedent."

The court said that, in the past, when faced with a similar situation, the court has directed the matters to be heard by the leading high court where the matter has substantially progressed. Moreover, a final order passed by the single judge would be appealable before a division bench or the top court. By bringing the cases to the apex court, the bench, also comprising Justice Pankaj Mithal observed, "It will bypass their right to file a special leave petition."
