Case Law Details
Praveen Khandelwal Vs. Sppin India Pvt. Ltd (Competition Commission of India)
‘Shopee has had a very recent launch in the market of online platforms in India, which already has the presence of the e-commerce companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa etc., which have been operating for some time now. The Commission further notes that, though the allegation is that Shopee is following similar discounting practices as allegedly done by Amazon and Flipkart, it does not appear to the Commission that Shopee possesses significant market power, much less dominance, at this stage, more so because of the fact that it is a new entrant in a market with established players. Further, the Informant has not pointed out the existence of any agreement in the Information for an examination under the provisions of Section 3 of the Act. Therefore, the Commission is of the view that no case is made out either under Section 3 or 4 of the Act.’
