No prima facie case of contravention u/ss 3 or 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 was found against the parties. The Commission observed mere price parallelism without plus factors is insufficient to establish cartelization. OP-1's requirements/conditions as a consumer cannot be deemed anti-competitive. Lack of evidence to support allegations of bid-rigging or abuse of dominance led to the closure of the matter u/s 26(2).
