Vivek Gupta Vs New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Competition Commission of India)
Introduction: In a notable decision, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has dismissed the case filed by Mr. Vivek Gupta against the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA), concerning alleged abuse of dominant position under Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002. The complaint highlighted issues related to the allotment and possession of a residential plot in Noida, bringing into focus the authority’s practices in land allotment and maintenance.
Background of the Case
Mr. Vivek Gupta, the Informant, accused NOIDA of holding a monopoly in acquiring, developing, and allotting land in Noida, and alleged that NOIDA abused its dominant position in the market. Gupta participated in an auction for residential plots organized by NOIDA in 2019 and was eventually allotted a plot. However, he faced encroachment issues on the site and was unable to take possession, leading to a complaint against NOIDA for not providing an alternative plot or addressing the grievances related to the possession.
